The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $145,396.79 grant to The Johns Hopkins University to apply advanced data analysis methods to the entire public database of the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission. The goal is to eliminate discontinuities in the current photometry and step-like background artifacts in sky maps, resulting in an updated photometric catalog and legacy all-sky coadd for both the far and near ultraviolet bands. This work will positively impact...
This is a $474,471 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, to The Johns Hopkins University on January 31, 2017. The grant is for the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) project, which conducts ultraviolet sky surveys to study astrophysical objects such as hot stars and star-forming galaxies. The grant has a period of performance through January 30, 2024 and is not set aside for any special designation. The Johns Hopkins University, a private non-profit research...
This is a $400,301.96 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University to measure the properties of interstellar dust using a holistic approach that incorporates data from various NASA-supported missions and other complementary facilities. The planned analysis involves jointly modeling the dust extinction curve and stellar parameters, comparing extinction measurements to diffuse interstellar bands, extending the analysis to stars with...
This contract award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provides $526,459 in funding for the Galactic Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet (UV) sky surveys. GALEX is uniquely sensitive to objects like hot stars, star-forming galaxies, and quasars, providing important astrophysical data. The grant-funded research has an ultimate completion date of April 24, 2024. JHU is a private, non-profit research university that regularly...
This is a $240,749 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University for a project titled "GALEX Revolutionized the Study of Nearby Galaxies in the Ultraviolet (UV) Spectral Regime, Providing Resolved UV Imaging for Tens of Thousands of Z ~ 0 Targets. Among Them, the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) Are Unique in Their Proximity and Have Low Metall". The grant was awarded on January 1, 2020 and has an ultimate completion date of December...
This is a $82,860 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on April 9, 2021. The grant supports research into the X-ray variability pattern discovered in the nucleus of the galaxy GSN 069. The research will be conducted over the period of performance ending on April 8, 2024. The Johns Hopkins University is a private research university and has a long history of prime and subcontract awards from various U.S. government agencies,...
This NASA grant to Million Concepts LLC, a Louisville-based research services company, will fund the development of a new catalog of ultraviolet (UV) astronomical sources observed by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) mission. The $632,853 award will generate a comprehensive dataset of all valid GALEX imaging data, which is considered highly valuable as no comparable UV sky survey is currently planned. The grant supports NASA's space and Earth science research programs through the delivery of...
This $313,476.14 federal grant award to The Johns Hopkins University (JHU) was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on September 1, 2022 to support the development of a three-dimensional extinction map for microlensing planet discovery and characterization. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2025. JHU is a private, non-profit research university that regularly performs scientific research and analysis under prime and subcontracts with federal...
This $439,770.97 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University on February 1, 2017 to conduct the ACCESS - Absolute Color Calibration Experiment for Standard Stars program. The goal is to improve the precision of the astrophysical flux scale by transferring absolute laboratory detector standards from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to a network of stellar standards. The grant provides funding for...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $435,149.24 grant to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), to investigate the resolved variations of dust abundance and properties within and between nearby galaxies. The goal is to inform chemical evolution models, constrain dust formation and destruction processes, and improve dust and gas mass estimates in the distant universe....
