- 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 $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...
- 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 $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- 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 federal contract award, valued at $454,256.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) for research related to understanding the effects of rock composition and water/CO2/rock ratios on the aqueous acid-base chemistry, secondary mineralogy, and atmospheric CO2 abundance on habitable zone exoplanets. The research aims to link aqueous processes on exoplanets with quantitative assessments of habitability, focusing on the...
- 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 $723,236 research grant awarded by NASA to Arizona State University (ASU) to advance the field of exoplanet atmosphere characterization.
