- Description
- NASA Ames has a requirement for four (4) EMCCD iXon cameras. The Speckle Camera group at NASA AMES will be using the iXon cameras purchased from Andor to create two instruments that will allow us to obtain high-resolution images of stars that are hosts to exoplanets.These images are needed to eliminate false positives to detect companion stars and to use the knowledge of the detected companion stars or no detect companion stars and to refine or determine the correct planet radius and temperature. Once these two instruments are built they will be placed in two locations allowing our scientists to image stars using the telescopes already in operation in conjunction with the instruments. These two locations will be at the WIYN Observatory located on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The images and date collected from these two instrument will support the Kepler, K2 and TESS programs. The two instruments must be able to work with existing Solis software. NASA Ames intends to purchase the requirement from Ander an Oxford Instruments Company, Southern Connecticut State University, LAB JE-11, New Haven, CT 06074 on a sole source basis.The main objective is to create two instruments using four cameras for the ExEP community to use at two various locations. This work will support follow on work for the Kepler, K2 and TESS programs. Interested organizations may submit their capabilities and qualifications to perform the effort in writing to the identified point of contact not later than 4:30 p.m. local time on August 11, 2015. Such capabilities/qualifications will be evaluated solely for the purpose of determining whether or not to conduct this procurement on a competitive basis.
