- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, a private research university, for a research project titled "Characterizing Small K2 Planets with the HARPS-N Spectrograph." The purpose of the project is to study the relationship between the masses, radii, insolation, and metallicities of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission, using high-precision radial...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to President and Fellows of Harvard College, operating as Harvard University, a private non-profit educational institution located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The $149,999.85 grant will fund research to observe bright stars in Campaigns 11, 12, and 13 of the K2 space telescope mission, in order to search for planet candidates suitable for follow-up high-precision radial velocity observations. The goal is to...
- This is a $498,432 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, a non-profit research organization. The grant, titled "Confirmation and Characterization of Small TESS Planets (Cycles 6 and 7)", is for scientific research related to the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. SAO, which has a history of...
- This is a $117,275 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division. The grant supports research to understand the atmospheres of exoplanets and their interactions with their host stars, which is essential for determining exoplanetary atmospheric survivability, evolution, and habitability. As a leading research institution, SAO has extensive experience...
- The Smithsonian Institution, through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, has been awarded a research grant (Contract ID: 80NSSC22K0074) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct observations of 14 recently discovered exoplanet host stars using the XMM-Newton/EPIC instrument. The grant, valued at $14,840.86, will support research on over a dozen Earth-mass exoplanets, many of which are located in or near the presumed habitable zones of their...
- This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to study the mass and radius of small exoplanets detected by the Kepler and K2 space telescopes. The goal is to obtain mass measurements with 15% precision in order to better understand the composition and potential habitability of these planets. The grant will fund new K2 observations, as well as follow-up radial velocity measurements using...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K0607, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division. The $500,616.00 grant is for research aimed at fully characterizing exo-Earths (Earth-mass planets with ~1 year orbits) using radial velocity (RV) measurements. The accuracy of RV measurements has been limited to around 1 m/s, which is much higher than the 20 cm/s needed for success. The contract is a grant for research, with no set-aside...
- The U.S. government awarded a $203,512.00 grant to the Smithsonian Institution, through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, for a research project titled "RECOVERING PLANET POPULATIONS FROM MICROLENSING SURVEYS". The grant was awarded by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, with a period of performance through June 30, 2026. The SAO, a leading provider of scientific research and instrumentation to federal agencies like NASA and the NSF,...
