- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- This is a $660,000 scientific research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of New Mexico (UNM) Office of Sponsored Projects Division. The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program and supports research to understand the chemical, structural, and isotopic characteristics of organic materials in chondritic meteorites. The goal is to study how various parent body processes, such as aqueous alteration and thermal processing, have affected...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This is a $565,000 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a study on the isotopic composition of refractory lithophile elements in the earliest solar system materials, including refractory inclusions and chondrites. The goal is to better understand the nebular processes that controlled the chemical fractionation and mixing of elements during the formation of the solar system and the subsequent...
- This is a $1,289,957.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Origins of Refractory Material in Stellar Systems from an Atomistic to a Macroscale Perspective." The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program, which supports research aimed at understanding the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The project will use a multifaceted approach integrating nanoscale analytical...
- The University of New Mexico (UNM) has been awarded a $118,078.35 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to perform analytical transmission electron microscopy on amorphous condensate grain samples produced by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. This work will provide detailed chemical, structural, and morphological data on approximately 10 samples per year of these complex nanomaterials. UNM has expertise in this area and has collaborated with NASA in the past on...
- The University of New Mexico, through its Office of Sponsored Projects Division, was awarded a $2.24 million grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct research on the formation and alteration of early solar system materials. The project, titled "Formation and Alteration of Early Solar System Materials: Insights from Coordinated Micro and Nanoscale Mineralogic, Spectroscopic, and Isotopic Studies," will be performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico, with an ultimate completion date of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $541,000 grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to examine chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in primitive meteorites to determine if they preserve evidence of volatile incorporation from the solar nebula and record open-system behavior during parent body alteration. The...
- This is a $1,044,966.98 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university, to conduct research on refractory dust, which provides clues about the formation of our solar system. The research involves detailed microscopic and computational analyses of meteoritic components, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions and circumstellar grains, to understand their thermodynamic origins and the pressure-temperature...
- This is a $477,090.33 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Hawaii (UH), a public university system in Hawaii. The grant is for research to understand early and late-stage processes in the solar system, including the distribution of aluminum-26 and oxygen isotope reservoirs, the origins of ultra-refractory inclusions, and the formation of plastically deformed calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs). Additionally, the research aims to study...
