- This is a $435,766.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for the development of open source tools to map exoplanet science goals to the architecture properties of a future infrared, optical, and ultraviolet (IR/O/UV) space observatory. The grant supports research under solicitation 22-ADSPS22-0011, "Open Source Tools for Mapping Exoplanet Science Goals to Architecture Properties of the IR/O/UV Great Observatory," with a...
- This $72,750.92 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University will support "THE PANDORA SMALLSAT: MULTIWAVELENGTH CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANETS AND THEIR HOST STARS" research project. The award does not have a set-aside designation. Cornell is the prime contractor and will lead the effort to characterize exoplanets and their host stars using a small satellite platform. This research aligns with NASA's mission to explore the solar...
- This contract award, with ID NNX17AL71A, was made by NASA to Cornell University, a private non-profit research institution, to support astrobiological research and observations. The original proposal addressed three main areas: (1) collecting and analyzing spectra from warm extrasolar Jupiters, (2) measuring isotopic ratios in the solar system by observing giant planets and other bodies, and (3) global monitoring of Mars and Titan. The award, valued at $879,356.34, is a cooperative agreement...
- This is a $448,720 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study how assumptions in atmospheric retrieval models impact the interpretation of transiting exoplanet atmosphere data. The research aims to optimize modeling tools to maximize the scientific return from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope and other future space-based platforms observing exoplanet atmospheres. Key aspects include investigating the effects of...
- This is a $157,728.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University to continue the development of the Infrared Database of Extragalactic Observables from Spitzer (IDEOS). The goal is to add emission line flux measurements for 3,000 to 4,500 galaxies to the existing database, which provides a valuable resource for planning observations with the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The grant...
- This is a $53,925 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for a balanced science program. The grant aims to enable Cornell's participation as a key partner in NASA's exploration initiatives, focusing on scientific research of the Moon, lunar orbit, Mars, and beyond. The award supports Cornell's efforts to advance discovery in emerging fields by identifying and exploiting cross-disciplinary opportunities between traditional science...
- This is a $696,680.00 grant awarded by a civilian federal agency, the Shared Services Center, to Cornell University for research related to "lava worlds" - exoplanets with extremely hot, highly irradiated surfaces. The research aims to expand scientific understanding of the composition and formation of rocky exoplanets by measuring the emission of lava surfaces and modeling the spectra of various lava world compositions. This research will support the interpretation of observations...
- This is a $308,992.43 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Cornell University to develop new optics and receiver technologies for millimeter and far-infrared instruments. The goal is to increase throughput, speed, and sensitivity of these instruments to enable progress in experimental cosmology and astrophysics. Specifically, Cornell will 1) develop high-throughput optics using micro-machining to fabricate efficient...
- This is a $210,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Cornell University for a project titled "AN ULTRASAT CENSUS OF FAST UV-LUMINOUS COSMIC EXPLOSIONS WITH RELATIVISTIC EJECTA". The contract, which has no set-aside designation, will run from November 2023 to November 2026. Cornell University, a private, non-profit research institution, will be the prime contractor for this research project. The grant supports scientific investigations...
- This $129,556.23 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was provided to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to support research on the effect of cloud microphysics on the climate and observational prospects of potentially habitable exoplanets. This research is a major goal for NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission as well as future missions such as LUVOIR, OST, and HABEX. The grant is intended to support the...
This $203,354.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Cornell University to enable the successful interpretation of atmospheric exoplanet data for current and future NASA missions. The effort will support the analysis of data from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that have broader wavelength coverage and higher spectral resolution than previous space telescopes, allowing detection of a variety of molecular features at high signal-to-noise ratios. This research will provide insights into planetary atmospheric physics and chemistry, including measuring atmospheric abundances to infer planet formation and habitability. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and Cornell University is serving as the prime contractor without any listed subcontractors. This work directly supports NASA's objectives to robustly characterize extrasolar planets.
