The research will involve N-body numerical simulations to...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). The grant, valued at $132,904.96, is to analyze the transit times of Kepler planets to confirm the planet nature of small planets in systems with multiple planet candidates, constrain or identify the presence of additional non-transiting planets, and eliminate astrophysical false positive systems. The research aims to characterize the size and orbital distributions of small planets, especially those within and around the habitable zone of host stars. This grant is part of the Kepler Extended Mission and does not have a set-aside designation.
