- This is a $435,791.99 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), a private research university. The grant will fund the analysis of exquisite stellar and planetary data collected by the Kepler spacecraft's K2 extended mission for the Upper Scorpius star-forming region, which represents a key evolutionary stage between very young and older star clusters. The primary objectives are to determine stellar...
- This is a $247,652 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support collaborative research and development activities related to the K2 mission, which is a follow-up program to the Kepler mission focused on measuring precise planet masses and characterizing planet host stars. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university, is the prime contractor and is leveraging...
- This $100,000 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to search for transiting planets orbiting FGK dwarf stars in the K2 fields. The project has two objectives: 1) to measure variations in the occurrence rate of planets as a function of sky position, sampling different star formation environments and stellar densities, and 2) to discover small planets suitable for high-precision Doppler spectroscopy to...
- This is a $473,985.71 grant awarded by NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to collect and organize data from NASA's major observatories and survey missions on young stars and star-forming regions. The award is part of NASA's Star and Planet Formation Science program and will involve aggregating relevant photometric and spectroscopic data to serve it in a searchable format. Caltech is a private research university with extensive experience supporting NASA and Department of...
- This is a $632,889.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to study the occurrence rate of extrasolar planets. The research aims to extend previous findings from the Kepler mission by using data from the K2 mission to estimate the frequency of planets orbiting low-mass stars. The proposed work includes generating a catalog of planet candidates, measuring the completeness and reliability of the catalog,...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on September 1, 2019. The $135,000.00 grant is to support research characterizing the atmospheric, bulk, and surface properties of exoplanets as the number of confirmed exoplanets continues to rapidly rise. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion on August 31, 2022. Caltech is a...
- This is a $75,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project aimed at probing the structure of planetary systems and its dependency on the host star mass. The goal is to continue the characterization of Kepler planet host stars, extending it to lower-mass systems, to explore different irradiation environments and address the radius-flux distribution of planets as a function of stellar...
- California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has been awarded a $65,787 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to measure the x-ray spectra of four young, active stars hosting small (less than 3.5 Earth radii) planets. The goal of the program is to obtain more accurate measurements of the x-ray luminosity from the stars' ages. Work will be performed in Pasadena, California with a completion date of February 28, 2025. As a private research...
- This federal contract award, with the ID 80NSSC22K0298, was granted to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency. The $221,272.98 grant is for Caltech to produce and publicly release light curves for approximately 100,000 known star cluster members brighter than magnitude 16, as observed in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) full-frame images during Cycle 4. The contract has no set-aside designation and has a completion date...
- This is a $425,562.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project titled "Laying the Foundation for a Comprehensive View of Transiting Exoplanets with the Galactic Bulge Survey". The award does not have a set-aside designation. Caltech, a private research university focused on science and engineering, will perform the research work under this grant, which aims to expand the...
