- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $309,450.00 grant for research to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. This new grant will fund a joint analysis of data from the Planck mission and the Dark Energy Survey, using an approximate Bayesian framework to properly account for correlations and shared systematic errors between the two datasets. The research effort will also integrate cosmic microwave background simulation software...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $356,444.54 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research on modeling the impact of massive satellite galaxies, such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and Messier 33, on the dark matter distribution and halo potentials of the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies. This research aims to develop a more accurate theoretical framework for understanding the assembly history and...
- This is a $320,825.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university located in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a 6-year research effort to improve the understanding of dynamical architectures of planetary systems and the overall mass distribution of exoplanets using data from NASA missions like Kepler, James Webb Space Telescope, TESS, and WFIRST. The research will involve N-body numerical simulations to...
- This federal contract award is to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $293,688.10 grant will fund research into a new weak gravitational lensing technique called kinematic lensing, which aims to enhance the precision of measurements used to study the origin, composition, and structure formation of the universe. This novel approach combines spectroscopic information...

- The University of Arizona, acting as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $362,399.48 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support research on discovering and characterizing habitable exoplanets. This grant, awarded on January 1, 2020, does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to support the University's scientific research capabilities in the area of astrophysics and planetary science. The grant has a period of performance through December...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $744,406.75 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue their astrometry research on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The grant provides funding to use competitively-allocated telescopes larger than 2 meters in diameter to improve the accuracy of predictions of close approaches and prevent scientifically interesting NEOs from becoming lost. The research focuses on promptly...
- This is a $208,618.52 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, for research related to the prevalence of terrestrial planets and their formation. The grant aims to leverage data from the Kepler and Tess space telescopes to study young planetary systems and the potential to observe Earth-like planets in habitable zones. This research grant supports NASA's mission to advance...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant, valued at $3,426,305.00, supports a scientific investigation program focused on active galactic nuclei and their host galaxies, as well as debris disk research. This effort builds upon the University of Arizona's prior work with the Spitzer Space Telescope and proposes to leverage new...
- This is a $684,039.40, 3-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for continued archiving, reprocessing, and curation of Spacewatch astronomy data. The grant supports the reprocessing of Spacewatch's legacy data to conform to modern data standards, maintaining and upgrading the database, and exporting it to NASA's Planetary Data System. The effort will also involve targeted...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $368,638.30 grant to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to develop advanced data analysis and modeling frameworks that can accurately interpret future cosmological data sets from missions like the Euclid telescope, Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). The project aims to overcome challenges in modeling baryonic effects, galaxy-dark matter connections, non-linear structure evolution, observational systematics, and covariance/likelihood functions to enable the transition from data to scientific insights. The University of Arizona, as the prime grantee, will leverage its expertise in numerical simulations, theory, and data analysis to prepare for the joint analysis of these upcoming cosmological missions. No set-aside designation was provided.
