- This is a $99,908.57 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on exoplanets. The research aims to study the dramatic changes that occur in the orbital, radius, and atmospheric properties of exoplanets in the first few hundred million years after their formation. This is a crucial period for evaluating models of exoplanet evolution, such as migration. The grant is a research contract with a...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AJ11G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on planets around low-metallicity stars. The $99,724.46 grant will support the analysis of data from the K2 mission to search for transiting exoplanets around a large sample of sub-solar metallicity stars. The goal is to determine the characteristics of the first stars in the galaxy to form potentially habitable planetary...
- This is a $134,999.99 research grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a public research university. The grant will fund research on atmospheric retrieval, which is the only method for determining the properties of exoplanet atmospheres since in-situ measurements are not possible at astronomical distances. The University of Texas at Austin is the prime grantee on this award and is not a set-aside contract. The University of...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for research related to exoplanets. The grant has a potential value of $282,245.53 and a completion date of May 16, 2023. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. UT Austin, a public research university, is the prime contractor for this grant. The University of Texas System, the parent organization of UT Austin, has...
- This is a $150,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to support research on appraising the habitable zones of nearby sun-like stars for future life search missions. The grant is a research contract with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. As a major research university, the University of Texas at Austin has extensive experience executing federal research contracts and grants, including for...
- This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a major research institution and component of the University of Texas System. The primary goal of the program is to determine the frequency of Jovian-size planets (0.3 - 10 Jupiter masses) within 2.5 astronomical units around single, young, Sun-like stars. This research grant, which runs from September 1, 2020 to January 31, 2024, does not have a small business or...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $314,746.66 grant to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to model the formation of wide binary star systems. The research program will develop an algorithm to track pre-stellar structure, assess how physical parameters like rotational energy influence stellar multiplicity, perform numerical simulations, and produce synthetic observations for comparison with recent astronomical survey data. Approximately 85% of the...
- This is a $52,989 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for the "E014042 - CONFIRMATION OF TESS GIANT PLANETS" project. The grant is for research and will be performed in Austin, Texas. The University of Texas System, the parent organization of UT Austin, frequently receives federal research grants and contracts across a wide range of scientific and technical domains,...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $351,559.00 grant for research to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). The research focuses on understanding how high-energy cosmic rays interact with and influence star formation processes and the properties of protoplanetary disks. This research aligns with NASA's broader interests in advancing our understanding of star and planet formation. The award is a grant, rather than a contract, indicating the funding is for...
- The University of Texas at Austin was awarded a $38,279 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the COMETS: CLUES TO CONDITIONS IN THE EARLY SOLAR NEBULA research project. This grant, with a period of performance through May 2026, supports the university's research into conditions in the early solar system. The University of Texas System, which includes UT Austin, has an extensive track record of receiving both federal contracts and grants for research across...
This is a $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on the relationship between the metallicity of stars and the formation of exoplanets. The award, which has no set-aside designation, is part of NASA's efforts to better understand planetary system formation. The University of Texas at Austin is a major research university with extensive experience in federal research grants and contracts across fields like aerospace engineering, materials science, and computer science. This project aims to expand our knowledge of how the chemical composition of stars impacts the development of super-Earth and Earth-sized exoplanets, which is a key area of focus for NASA's exoplanet research programs.
