About this award
This federal contract award was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) for the project "Exploring the Solar-Stellar Connection Using K2". The $427,537.93 grant funds research to identify and characterize solar analogs using data from NASA's K2 mission. The goal is to better understand the solar-stellar connection by determining the rotation period, activity level, and other characteristics of these solar analogs. No set-aside designation was used for this award. As a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, FGCU has experience supporting federal agencies through both prime and subcontract awards, with a focus on research and workforce development initiatives related to areas like climate change, coastal ecosystems, and nursing education.
Description
Exploring the solar-stellar connection using K2 the proposed project involves using data from NASA's K2 mission to identify and characterize solar analogs in the K2 fields. We will make use of both primary targets (those specifically proposed by others) as well as secondary targets which serendipitously appear in the K2 "postage stamps"; we anticipate more than 1000 solar analogs in the latter category alone. For each analog, we will determine rotation period, activity level, and spot and flare characteristics, as well as determine if the star is a maunder minimum candidate. In addition, for the brighter STARS we will perform basic asteroseismology to better characterize physical characteristics. All results will be supplied to the focus team for follow-up and more detailed investigation. The result of the proposed effort will be a well-defined, well-characterized, and statistically significant set of solar analogs which will be key to improving our understanding of the solar-stellar connection.
