- This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to investigate the seasonal changes in Uranus' upper atmosphere using near- and mid-infrared emission spectra. The $401,715 grant supports research to characterize the trend reversal in Uranus' thermospheric/ionospheric temperatures, which have been in a long-term downward trend since first observed in 1992. The objectives are to study the post-equinoctial lags,...
- This is a $37,590.42 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to study the Earth's orientation parameters, including the length-of-day and rotation axis position. The grant supports long-term observational records of these Earth system characteristics, which can change over sub-daily to decadal timescales. As a public research university, UT Austin has an extensive track record of federal contract and grant awards,...
- 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...
- This federal grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) supports research into the evolution of Mercury's core and magnetic field. The award, valued at $458,936.10, was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Solar System Workings research program. The research will use interior evolution models and 3D numerical dynamo models to investigate how Mercury's core and dynamo-generated magnetic field have changed over time. This work is intended...
- 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 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 $502,955.13 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to investigate the role of solar wind fluctuations in the transfer of energy and momentum between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The research aims to address three key science goals: 1) determining if solar wind fluctuations enhance the transfer of energy from the solar wind to the Earth's geospace, 2) understanding how solar...
- 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,...
- This is a $650,485.00 grant award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) from the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency, for research on "Multi Physics Understanding of Io's Atmosphere". The award was made on March 1, 2024 and has a completion date of February 28, 2027. The University of Texas System, which includes UT Austin, has a significant research portfolio with federal agencies and has received numerous contracts and grants for scientific and medical...
- This is a $331,930 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) to study the role of waves and turbulence in magnetic reconnection at the Earth's dayside magnetopause. The grant, which runs from February 2022 to August 2025, supports fundamental research in space physics. UTA, a Hispanic-Serving and Minority Institution, is the prime awardee and will leverage its research expertise and infrastructure to execute the...
This is a $313,439.68 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to investigate the physical processes responsible for generating the magnetic fields, atmospheric circulations, and thermal emission patterns of the ice giants (such as Uranus and Neptune). The goal is to test the hypothesis that the dynamos and zonal winds are dynamically coupled and are a consequence of quasi-three-dimensional turbulence in the interiors of these planetary bodies. This research supports NASA's Solar System Workings program and is directly responsive to the agency's goal of exploring the ice giants. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, and UT Austin is the prime contractor. This award is part of UT Austin's extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants, including work as a prime and subcontractor for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy, National Science Foundation, and National Institutes of Health.
