This is a grant for $404,138.00 awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Institute for Advanced Study - Louis Bamberger & MRS Felix Fuld Foundation to conduct research on boundary layers in astrophysical accretion disks. The research aims to better understand the mechanisms driving angular momentum and mass transport in the boundary layer region between accretion disks and central objects like neutron stars and white dwarfs. This will involve detailed 3D...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $495,204.93 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to conduct research on the origins and evolution of close binary star systems. The research will involve a two-pronged approach, including high-resolution 3D hydrodynamic numerical experiments to model the interactions of binary stars with their natal disks, as well as the construction of mock populations of close binaries and triple...
This federal contract award is a $297,833.22 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. The grant is for research on the formation and evolution of circumbinary planets - planets that orbit around binary star systems. The research will use 3-dimensional computational modeling to study the migration and dynamics of planets in circumbinary disks, as well as the detectability of inclined circumbinary planets through eclipse timing...
This is a $465,742 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization based in Mountain View, California. The grant is for research related to eclipsing binary stars, which are foundational to the field of stellar astrophysics. The grant has a period of performance through February 23, 2026. The SETI Institute has a strong track record of performing technical support services and scientific research for NASA,...
This is a $50,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, for research related to circumbinary planets. The award is part of a larger Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) vehicle that NASA Headquarters awarded to the SETI Institute in July 2020 with a ceiling value of $4.7 million. Under this IDC, the SETI Institute provides technical support services to NASA's Office of Planetary Protection,...
This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New York University (NYU) for a project titled "Orbital Evolution and Multi-Messenger Signatures of Binary Black Holes with Circumbinary Disks". The grant has a ceiling value of $875,740.00 and a performance period ending on June 30, 2025. The award is not set aside for any particular business type. NYU, a leading research university, will be conducting specialized research related to the...
This is a $70,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, for research related to circumbinary planets (CBPs). CBPs are exoplanets that orbit two stars and exhibit fascinating properties that challenge planet formation and migration theories. The grant supports scientific research, data analysis, and methodological development to further understand the origins and characteristics of CBPs. The Seti...
This federal contract award, valued at $299,600.00, was granted by NASA to the Seti Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, to search the Kepler photometric archive for bounded stellar binaries that produce periodic microlensing events. The research aims to find compact objects like white dwarfs and compute their occurrence rates in the Kepler field of view, thereby improving the understanding of stellar evolution in closely separated binary systems. The work will utilize a transit...
This is a $346,926.53 grant awarded by NASA to Associated Universities Inc. (AUI) to study the evolution of circumstellar disks, which are thought to be the birthplaces of exoplanetary systems. The research aims to determine if planet formation is underway in very young disks around 1 million years old, and to measure how the surface density of disks evolves over 5-10 million year timescales. This grant supports NASA's exoplanet research program by providing key insights into the origins of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $296,583.99 grant to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), a public research university. The grant is to study planet formation and evolution in binary star systems, which is essential for understanding observed exoplanet properties. The research will investigate processes such as disk mass transfer, planet formation by disk...
