- This is a $338,120.99 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization based in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a study on the role of wave dynamics in the origin and evolution of "hot Jupiters", which are large exoplanets that orbit very close to their host stars. The work will use two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) hydrodynamic simulations to understand how...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to measure surface energies for several exoplanetary condensates and incorporate the data into atmospheric aerosol models for hot Jupiter exoplanets. The research will support NASA's Exoplanet Research Program by improving the interpretation of exoplanet observations. ASU, a comprehensive public research university, will synthesize nanoparticles and micron-sized...
- Arizona State University (ASU) was awarded a $540,630 research grant by a civilian federal agency to conduct scientific research on magma oceans in rocky exoplanets, with a focus on understanding their dynamic and magnetic evolution through new models and experiments. The contract, issued on January 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, will be performed at ASU's Tempe, Arizona campus. This grant falls under a child entity of ASU (doing business as Orspa), which...
- 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 $537,787 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) on January 21, 2022. The grant, titled "A Benchmark Survey of Substellar Companions -- A Critical Test of Formation and Evolution Models", is for a research project that will run until January 20, 2026. ASU, a comprehensive public research university, will be conducting this astronomical research project without any set-aside designation. The grant represents...
- 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 is a $583,262.14 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Massachusetts Lowell to study the magnetic fields of exoplanets and their potential role in making those planets habitable. The award is not associated with a set-aside program. The University of Massachusetts Lowell, through its Office of Research Administration-Lowell division, is the prime recipient of this grant. The grant aims to improve understanding of exoplanet...
- Arizona State University (ASU), operating through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $722,053 research grant (Contract No. 23-XRP23_2-0097) with an ultimate completion date of September 27, 2027. Titled "Let the Data Speak for Itself: Understanding the Limits of Current Exoplanetary Atmospheric Models and Their Missing Physics in a Data-Driven Era," this civilian research award supports ASU's continued investigation into exoplanet atmospheric...
- This is a $559,951.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) for research on the impact of rock-ice interactions on exoplanet mass-radius relations. The research aims to develop new models and equations of state for planetary interiors that account for potential formation of rock-ice solid solutions, which could significantly affect the interpretation of exoplanet compositions based on the mass-radius relationship. The work...
- This is a $723,236 research grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) to advance the field of exoplanet atmosphere characterization. The objective is to leverage high dispersion cross-correlation spectroscopy (HDCCS) techniques, combined with Bayesian atmospheric retrieval methodologies, to determine previously undetermined atmospheric properties of transiting exoplanets from existing high-resolution datasets. This includes constraining molecular composition, thermal structures,...
