About this award
Arizona State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration was awarded a $113,229 research grant on April 1, 2023, under the Emerging Worlds Program to investigate grain migration in the protoplanetary disk through elemental and isotopic analysis of chondrule precursors. The research aims to advance scientific knowledge of solar system formation and evolution by analyzing extraterrestrial materials using state-of-the-art microanalytical techniques, including field emission electron probe microanalysis and secondary ion mass spectrometry. The project will examine relict grains—unmelted chondrule precursor silicates that survived heating during chondrule formation—to determine their morphologies, elemental compositions, and oxygen-isotope signatures, thereby identifying the origins of these materials and constraining grain migration patterns during the early solar system's chondrule formation era. The award carries no set-aside designation and has a completion date of February 10, 2025, with performance conducted at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus.
This research falls under NASA's Science Mission Directorate's Emerging Worlds Program, which supports investigation of materials and processes in protoplanetary disks to understand solar system formation and evolution. The Emerging Worlds Program aligns with NASA's broader planetary science objectives and builds upon discoveries such as calcium-aluminum rich inclusions and chondrule-like objects recovered from Comet Wild 2, which demonstrated early outward migration of sub-millimeter particles. By analyzing relict grains that may represent primordial silicates, recycled chondrule fragments, xenocrysts from other meteorite groups, or debris from differentiated planetesimals, this research will illuminate the extent and direction of grain migration after the solar system's earliest epoch and contribute to understanding planetary formation processes.
