This is a $4,200,316.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) General Investigator (GI) Program. The TESS GI Program solicits proposals for the acquisition and analysis of new scientific data from the TESS mission, a NASA Explorer mission launched in 2018. The grant also supports the acquisition and/or analysis of scientific data from ground-based...
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission awarded a $52,500 grant to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, to develop a citizen science project to analyze TESS mission light curve data. The goal is to supplement automated data analysis pipelines and identify unusual transiting systems that may be missed. This grant, awarded by NASA, does not have a set-aside designation. The SETI Institute has held numerous research contracts and grants from NASA and the National...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $376,066 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), to study the origins, physical mechanisms, and diversity of supernovae and other explosive transients. The grant will leverage high-cadence light curve data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to probe an early time window that remains mysterious in this...
This is a $3,289.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop an approach to improve the scientific utility of full-frame light curves from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The project aims to leverage data from the Gaia satellite to enable a highly-constrained fit to TESS photometry, producing science-ready light curves for every star brighter than 16th magnitude in the TESS...
This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The grant, valued at $50,000.00, is for research related to NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to discover more than 200 exoplanets in the continuous viewing zone of TESS, which will provide a valuable dataset to characterize planet and star properties, search for...
This is a $300,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to support the extended mission of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The grant is focused on finding smaller and longer-period exoplanets compared to TESS's prime mission. The Smithsonian Institution is a non-profit organization that conducts scientific research and development for NASA and the...
This is a $69,979.00 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the Universities Space Research Association (USRA), a nonprofit research organization, to develop a "Flexible Toolkit to Compare Detrending Approaches on Large Samples of TESS Light Curves." This effort supports NASA's science mission by improving the analysis of data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) program, which searches for exoplanets. The grant provides funding for USRA to create software...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, doing business as Princeton University. The $192,370.20 grant is for research to produce and publicly release light curves for approximately 100,000 known star cluster members observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during its first observation cycle. The goal is to search for...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $29,000.00 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) to conduct research on measuring the masses of red giant stars using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and Kepler space telescopes. AURA is a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes on behalf of the federal government. This grant is funding research that leverages TESS and...
