- This is a federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Institute, a non-profit research organization. The $100,000.00 grant is for the discovery and vetting of exoplanets observed by the K2 mission, a continuation of the Kepler space telescope program. The goal is to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets suitable for follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The...
- This federal contract award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center. The $148,460 grant funds a project to create a catalog of well-vetted exoplanets discovered using data from the K2 mission, to support follow-up observations by the James Webb Space Telescope and other facilities. The project will observe approximately 9,000 bright, dwarf stars over three observing campaigns, which...
- The SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization headquartered in Mountain View, California, was awarded a $593,536 research grant by NASA effective January 1, 2021, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026. The grant supports research related to NASA's space telescope missions, including Kepler, K2, and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), which conduct photometric observations to detect exoplanet transits and study variable stellar phenomena. The work...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $70,000 grant to The Seti Institute, a non-profit organization, to support research detecting and vetting planet candidates in data from the NASA Future Imagers for Exoplanet Science (FFI) program. As the prime awardee, The Seti Institute will conduct scientific analysis of FFI data to identify potential exoplanets and characterize exoplanet properties without use of a set-aside designation. The research aims to advance NASA's...
- This $53,858 federal grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific organization, was issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "Quantifying and Correcting for Stellar Contamination in Transmission Spectra is Key to Obtain Robust Measurements of Exoplanet Atmospheres." The grant will support the development of an open-source model to address the challenge of stellar contamination in observations of exoplanet...
- This is a $632,889.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to study the occurrence rate of extrasolar planets. The research aims to extend previous findings from the Kepler mission by using data from the K2 mission to estimate the frequency of planets orbiting low-mass stars. The proposed work includes generating a catalog of planet candidates, measuring the completeness and reliability of the catalog,...
- This is a $343,589 grant award to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization, by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the development of a "Uniform Catalog of Planets from TESS Full Frame Images". The grant aims to support scientific research in areas such as astrobiology, planetary science, astronomy, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This award is part of the SETI Institute's broader work with NASA, including a $4.7 million...
- 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 is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit research organization in Mountain View, California. The $78,356 grant will fund research to lay the foundation for a comprehensive view of transiting exoplanets through the Galactic Bulge Survey. The SETI Institute has a history of performing technical support services and conducting scientific research for NASA, particularly in the areas of planetary protection,...
- This is a federal grant awarded by NASA to the SETI Institute, a non-profit organization focused on astrobiology, planetary science, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The grant, valued at $50,000.00, is for research related to NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The research aims to discover more than 200 exoplanets in the continuous viewing zone of TESS, which will provide a valuable dataset to characterize planet and star properties, search for...
