- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The $149,999.85 grant will fund research to observe bright stars in Campaigns 11, 12, and 13 of the K2 space telescope mission, in order to search for planet candidates suitable for follow-up high-precision radial velocity observations. The goal is to...
- This federal contract award with ID NNX16AJ13G was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a prestigious private research university. The $99,999.89 grant is for a project titled "Characterizing Small Planets with K2 and HARPS-N" that aims to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets by targeting moderately bright stars...
- This is a $399,997.29 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution. The grant is for "Discovery and Atmospheric Reconnaissance of the Most Spectroscopically Accessible Temperate Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanets" research. No set-aside designation was used for this award. As a premier research university, Harvard has a long history of...
- This $448,985 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) to conduct research on the atmospheric volatile transport and habitability of rocky exoplanets orbiting M-class red dwarf stars. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of NASA's broader efforts to understand the climate and potential for life on exoplanets. The research will involve using a 3D general circulation...
- This $395,836.39 federal grant award to the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) is for a research project to measure the masses of exoplanets discovered by the K2 mission. The goal is to determine the conditions under which planets retain or lose their primordial gas envelopes, shedding light on the formation and evolution of super-Earths and mini-Neptunes. The research will utilize the HARPS-N high-precision radial velocity spectrograph to measure the masses of at least 10...
- This federal contract award, valued at $499,939.94, was granted to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct advanced research related to exoplanet detection and characterization. The project aims to refit and update the Kepler and K2 planet catalogs, which currently suffer from biases due to the assumption of circular planetary orbits. The researchers will use the ExoFastV2 global modeling approach to...
- This $1,076,775 federal grant award to President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, funds research to enhance the accuracy and precision of planetary parameters derived from transit photometry data. The research leverages the ExoFastV2 global modeling approach to simultaneously constrain planet eccentricity without the need for radial velocity measurements, addressing biases in prior methods that assumed circular orbits. This work is expected to improve fundamental...
- This is a $49,999.99 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as Harvard University, to obtain 2-minute cadence light curves of a volume-limited sample of 412 mid M dwarfs. The purpose is to determine the stellar variability of these stars due to flares. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting Harvard's status as a large, established research institution. As a prestigious private...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the mass and radius of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler and K2 space telescopes. The goal is to obtain mass measurements with 15% precision in order to better understand the composition and potential habitability of these planets. The grant will fund new K2 observations, as well as follow-up radial velocity measurements using...
