- This is a grant for scientific 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 within it, using data from the Kepler and K2 space telescope missions. The $99,944.26 grant will fund the determination of the radii, masses, and ages of a large sample of red giants across multiple regions of the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant, valued at $485,665.03, is for the "GRAVITY, ROTATION, AGES, AND MAGNETISM OF SOLAR-LIKE STARS AND RED GIANTS OBSERVED BY KEPLER AND K2" project. The objective is to perform a comprehensive analysis of data from the Kepler and K2 space missions, studying solar-like oscillations, convection,...
- This is a $300,018 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Villanova University to validate and expand the testing of asteroseismology, the study of the internal structure of stars through their oscillations. The grant aims to reanalyze the available sample of red giant binary stars and expand it by over 50% to provide a robust benchmark for the asteroseismic community to fine-tune their methods. The goal is to improve the accuracy of asteroseismic...
- 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...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University, a public research university, to conduct research on unraveling the evolutionary history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research will leverage data from the K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope to study the properties of red giant stars across the galaxy and use this information to test models of galactic structure and evolution. The $100,000.00 grant is part of an ongoing...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a program titled "Galactic Archaeology on a Grand Scale - Campaigns 4-5". The objective is to use data from the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission to study the structure and evolution of the Milky Way galaxy by determining the radius, mass, and age of a large number of red giant stars. The research aims to expand our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution by...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $124,998.74 grant to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to support research using data from the K2 mission. The grant will fund the observation and study of young star clusters and star-forming regions, including revisiting the nearby Praesepe cluster. This research will enable the discovery of young planets and eclipsing binaries, advancing the understanding of planetary and stellar evolution in the critical first...
- This is a $405,459.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Florida for research related to improving models of red giant stars. The research aims to: Identify discrepancies between published red giant star models and observational data, and provide tools to estimate uncertainties in age estimates from these models. Use the open-source MESA stellar evolution code to explore how uncertainties in stellar physics impact common red giant diagnostics. Generate calibrated, publicly available...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $234,857 grant to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to analyze publicly available photometry data from the K2 mission for eclipsing binary stars in the open star cluster Ruprecht 147. The goal is to derive highly accurate measurements of the masses, radii, and temperatures of the binary components, which will allow for rigorous testing of stellar evolution models and...
- This is a $652,691.71 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Yale University, a private university and non-profit organization, for research related to the development of statistical analysis tools to separate stellar photospheric Doppler shifts from Keplerian Doppler shifts and mitigate the impact of telluric contamination in high-resolution spectra. This research supports the search for Earth-like exoplanets using the radial velocity...
