This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AT56G, was granted by NASA to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), doing business as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), a non-profit organization. The $336,143.31 grant is for a project titled "Stellar Dust Production in Chemically Primitive Environments: Infrared Lightcurves and Mass Loss", which aims to study dust production by asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in metal-poor environments, using observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope. The project will obtain infrared light curves for a subset of AGB stars identified in AURA's previous "DUSTiNGS" survey of nearby dwarf galaxies, to better understand the influence of metallicity on AGB star pulsation and dust production. This work supports NASA's broader astrophysics research objectives. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
