THIS PROJECT WILL GENERATE A NEW CATALOG OF UNIQUE ULTRAVIOLET (UV) SOURCES SCREENED OF SIGNIFICANT ARTIFACTS THAT INCLUDES ALL VALID IMAGING DATA PRODUCED BY THE GALAXY EVOLUTION EXPLORER (GALEX) AN ALL-SKY SURVEY MISSION WITH TWO UV BANDS. THIS DATA SET IS UNIQUE AND EXTREMELY VALUABLE NO UV SKY SURVEY THAT IS COMPARABLE OR BETTER IN DEPTH COVERAGE SENSITIVITY AND PRECISION IS PLANNED.$632,853

THIS PROJECT WILL CREATE AN OPEN SOURCE PYTHON-BASED TOOL CAPABLE OF READING THE VAST MAJORITY OF DATA (INCLUDING TABLES AND IMAGES) AND METADATA FORMATS CURRENTLY ARCHIVED BY THE PDS AS WELL AS SOME FORMATS COMMON IN PLANETARY SCIENCE RESEARCH$599,403

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 SOLICITATION "[P]ROPOSALS THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THIS PROGRAM ARE BY DEFINITION RELEVANT TO NASA."$425,396
