About this award
This is a $1,400,000.00 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit educational institution and leading research university. The contract is for research to study nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies and chronology in cometary, interstellar, and asteroidal dust, as well as elemental abundances in solar wind. Measurements will be conducted using the Chicago Instrument for Laser Ionization (CHILI), a resonance ionization mass spectrometer, on samples returned from the Stardust and Genesis space missions. This research aligns with NASA's goals of advancing our understanding of the composition and formation of planetary materials. The contract does not have a set-aside designation and runs through June 30, 2025.
Description
Science goals and objectives. The general themes are to study nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies and chronology in cometary, interstellar, and asteroidal dust, and elemental abundances in solar wind. Measurements of chemical and isotopic compositions of samples returned to earth by the stardust (1,2) and genesis (3) missions, will be done using the chicago instrument for laser ionization (chili), a resonance ionization mass spectrometer. (1) much is now known about the mineralogy and petrology of dust from comet wild 2, and some measurements of o and MG isotopic composition are available. (1) we plan to improve knowledge of the stardust cometary samples by: (a) 26AL-26MG chronology of AL-rich
