This Project Will Make Use of Gphoton a Database and Software Suite of Individual Photons Detected by the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) Uv Survey Telescope Mission That Has Recently Become Available at the Mikulski Archive at Space Telescope Making Studies of Astrophysical Phenomena Observed by This Mission on Short Time Scales (seconds to Minutes) Feasible for the First Time Since the End of the Mission. This Project Will Extend the Capabilities of Gphoton to Make It Computationally Feasible to Conduct Studies of This Type Across the Whole Mission. That New Capability Will Then Be Leveraged to Search for Analyze and Build a Comprehensive of Short Time Domain Behavior for a Particularly Interesting Class of Object: Dwarf Flares. the Frequency Energy and Nature of These Energetic Stellar Events Have Important Consequences for Habitability of Orbiting Exoplants. Their Dynamic Origin Is Also Not Currently Fully Understood and the Catalog Produced by This Work Will Provide an Important Observational Resource in Wavelengths and Energies Not Available in Other Surveys. the Proposed Work Will Create a New Software Tool in the Form of a Source Extraction Stage of Gphoton That Makes It Computationally Feasible to Systematically and Comprehensively Mine the Entire Galex Data Set on Short Time Domains. the Proposed Work Will Also Generate and Archive a New High Level Database Product Derived From the Legacy Galex Mission Data Set in the Form of a Catalog of Short Time Domain Uv Lightcurves of Flares Extending the Value and Utility of the Galex Data Beyond What Currently Exists. the Proposed Work Is Therefore Responsive to ``1.3.3 Astrophysical Databases and Development of New Data Products/analysis Tools'' of This Solicitation and Falls Under Adap Research Area ``10. Astrophysical Databases.'' the Proposed Work Also Includes a Scientific Focus on the Structure and Evolution of Main Sequence Stars With Consequences for Exoplanets and Is Therefore Responsive to Research Area ``2. Stellar Astrophysics and Exoplanets.'' Per the Solic

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then unspent ceiling.
