This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University, a public research university, to conduct research on unraveling the evolutionary history of the Milky Way galaxy. The research will leverage data from the K2 mission of the Kepler Space Telescope to study the properties of red giant stars across the galaxy and use this information to test models of galactic structure and evolution. The $100,000.00 grant is part of an ongoing...
This is a grant for scientific research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University. The goal of the research is to better understand the evolutionary history of the Milky Way galaxy by studying the properties of red giant stars within it, using data from the Kepler and K2 space telescope missions. The $99,944.26 grant will fund the determination of the radii, masses, and ages of a large sample of red giants across multiple regions of the...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a program titled "Galactic Archaeology on a Grand Scale - Campaigns 4-5". The objective is to use data from the Kepler Space Telescope's K2 mission to study the structure and evolution of the Milky Way galaxy by determining the radius, mass, and age of a large number of red giant stars. The research aims to expand our understanding of galaxy formation and evolution by...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University in the amount of $421,299.48. The grant is for a project titled "The Most Complete View Yet of Massive Star Formation in the Local Universe." The objective is to construct a combined atlas of ultraviolet and mid-infrared intensity images for almost all massive galaxies within 40 megaparsecs using data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer and Wide Field Infrared...
This federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for the "K2 Campaign 9 Microlensing Survey". The $84,000 grant will support the development of photometric pipelines to extract data from the K2 space telescope, enabling the measurement of the masses of free-floating and bound exoplanets. This work is critical to understanding the frequency, distance distribution, and mass function of these planets, which...
This is a $47,772.22 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a one-year study of internal rotation in subgiant stars. The project will involve observations of 50 high-priority subgiant stars in the Southern Continuous Viewing Zone to measure their internal rotation and surface rotation, which can provide insights into stellar angular momentum evolution. This research has broader applications in areas like gyrochronology. The...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Yale University to study red giant stars observed by the Kepler and K2 missions. The grant is worth $371,889.97 and runs from April 2016 through April 2020. The objective is to develop a reliable method for analyzing the oscillation spectra of red giant stars in order to better determine their ages. The work will utilize data from red giants in open star clusters as well as those in binary systems observed...
This is a $200,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for a research project to extract stellar parameters from observations made by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) telescope. The project aims to study a large sample of evolved stars in the TESS fields to better understand stellar granulation and asteroseismic properties. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. The Ohio State University, a public...
This is a $202,958 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for research related to the "Galactic Bulge Survey" of transiting exoplanets. The award has a performance period ending on March 12, 2027. The Ohio State University is the prime contractor, with no set-aside designation indicated. Based on the provided background, The Ohio State University has extensive experience conducting scientific research and providing related...
This is a $149,024 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Ohio State University for the project "UNDERSTANDING GALACTIC SUPERNOVAE". The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university, The Ohio State University has a history of providing goods and services to various federal agencies, including NASA, through both contracts and grants. This grant will fund research related to understanding galactic...
