This is a $359,342.67 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Toledo for a research project on low-mass star formation. The grant will fund a study to create a database of low-mass protostars within 500 parsecs of the Sun, using data from telescopes like Spitzer, Herschel, WISE, and NEOWISE. The goal is to identify protostars, construct their spectral energy distributions, and study their mid- to far-infrared variability. This research...
This is a $149,999 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The goal of the research is to better understand the evolutionary history of the Milky Way galaxy by studying the properties of red giant stars across the galaxy using data from the K2 mission of the Kepler space telescope. The research will leverage ground-based spectroscopic surveys to complement the asteroseismic data from K2. The intent is to build a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $391,921 grant for research to The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs Division, doing business as The Ohio State University Office of Sponsored Programs. The research will be conducted at The Ohio State University's Columbus, Ohio campus from January 2020 through August 2024. The grant funds a study of the evolution of newly formed neutron stars and their associated neutrino-heated winds in the immediate aftermath of...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $68,407.00 grant to The Ohio State University (OSU) for research on "Disruption of Giant Molecular Clouds by Cosmic Ray Pressure: Dynamics and Gamma-Ray Emission". This research grant, with a performance period ending on August 31, 2025, will investigate the effects of cosmic ray pressure on the dynamics and gamma-ray emission of giant molecular clouds. OSU, a public research university, will serve as the prime...
This is a $47,772.22 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a one-year study of internal rotation in subgiant stars. The project will involve observations of 50 high-priority subgiant stars in the Southern Continuous Viewing Zone to measure their internal rotation and surface rotation, which can provide insights into stellar angular momentum evolution. This research has broader applications in areas like gyrochronology. The...
This is a $200,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a research project to extract stellar parameters from observations made by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) telescope. The project aims to study a large sample of evolved stars in the TESS fields to better understand stellar granulation and asteroseismic properties. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Ohio State University, a public...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University in the amount of $421,299.48. The grant is for a project titled "The Most Complete View Yet of Massive Star Formation in the Local Universe." The objective is to construct a combined atlas of ultraviolet and mid-infrared intensity images for almost all massive galaxies within 40 megaparsecs using data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Wide Field Infrared Surveyor missions. This will enable the researchers to measure star formation rate surface density across the local galaxy population and address fundamental questions about where stars are forming and how galaxies are increasing or decreasing their mass. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and The Ohio State University is the prime recipient. This research aligns with NASA's broad goals of understanding how the universe works and the origins of stars, planets, and galaxies.
