This federal contract award, valued at $151,713.49, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH) to support the Discovery and Characterization of Small Planets from the K2 Mission. The K2 mission offers a unique opportunity to find new transiting exoplanets with bright host stars, which are ideal targets for further atmospheric and mass/density measurements. Under this grant, UH will adapt its TERRA transit search tool to detect transits in K2 photometry, develop vetting tools for candidate exoplanets, and publicly release reduced photometry and exoplanet catalogs. The team will also measure masses for a subset of planets using Keck-HIRES. This project is relevant to NASA's goals of characterizing the diverse population of small exoplanets and identifying targets to maximize the science yield of the James Webb Space Telescope. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UH's status as a large educational institution.
