UCSC, a...
- This is a grant award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center, valued at $149,860.19, to support the K2 Supernova Cosmology Experiment. The grant will fund UCSC's efforts to follow all supernova candidates from four different telescopes, allowing for improved observational cadence and weather mitigation compared to single-site observations. The goals of the project are to provide the best distances to...
- This is a $38,500.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a project titled "DAILY PRECISION SPECTRA OF MARKARIAN 421 FOR VARIABILITY AND MULTIWAVELENGTH STUDIES". The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research activities related to observing and analyzing the variability of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 421 across multiple wavelengths. As a public research...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support the K2 Supernova Cosmology Experiment. UCSC will follow all supernova candidates from four different telescopes in 13 bands to take full advantage of the K2 mission. The award, a $124,915.98 grant for research, will allow UCSC to leverage the well-calibrated Pan-STARRS and Swope telescopes to directly link the...

The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is for research and development work. The award date is June 26, 2024, and the ultimate completion date is June 25, 2026. UCSC, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and 1862 Land Grant College, frequently collaborates with federal agencies on research...
- This is a $14,999.64 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research on "clusters of galaxies in large, optical imaging surveys like the Dark Energy Survey (DES)." The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, is intended to support UCSC's work on using these galaxy clusters as a powerful probe of dark energy. UCSC is a public research university and a Hispanic-Serving Institution that...
- 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 $40,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a research project titled "A NEW WINDOW INTO COMPACT OBJECT PHYSICS: THE WIDEST BINARIES". The grant supports fundamental research in astrophysics, with a focus on studying compact objects and binary star systems. UCSC, a public research university and Hispanic-serving institution, has a strong interdisciplinary research portfolio and...
- This is a $772,402.58 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the "AUTOMATED REDUCTIONS, ANALYSIS AND DISSEMINATION OF THE KECK DEIMOS DATA ARCHIVE: SCIENCE-READY SPECTRA IN KEY FIELDS" project. The grant is for research and does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and major research university, is leveraging its expertise in astrophysics and advanced computing to...
This is a $99,905.80 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the "K2 M Dwarf Program: Fields 6 and 7" research project. The grant supports target selection and characterization efforts, leveraging data from the Superblink proper motion database and the Pan-STARRS1 survey to identify and study low-mass (M dwarf) stars. The research aims to build on UCSC's previous successful proposals for the K2 mission's observational Campaigns 0-5. This grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UCSC's status as a large research institution that frequently receives federal awards, including grants from agencies like the National Science Foundation and National Institutes of Health to advance interdisciplinary scientific initiatives.
