- This is a $392,474.16 grant awarded to The Johns Hopkins University by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under the Astrophysics Research and Analysis (APRA) program. The objective is to analyze nitrogen isotope ratios in Pluto's atmosphere and determine if the nitrogen originated from ammonia in the protostellar nebula, similar to the origin of Titan's atmosphere. The research will use data from the New Horizons mission to validate a photochemical model of Pluto's...
- This is a $37,439.76 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a research project on the time-domain variability analysis of 117 blazars (active galactic nuclei) in the Swift-BAT 105-month catalog. The award does not have a set-aside designation. As a major public research university, UMD has a long history of receiving federal grants and contracts from agencies like NASA, the National Science...
- This is a $157,214 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to study the compositions of ice shells on icy worlds. The grant supports research to better understand the properties and processes within ice shells, which can provide insights into the bulk composition of these planetary bodies and the transport of materials between their liquid reservoirs and surfaces. This research could help inform the potential for...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to re-analyze data from the Spitzer Space Telescope on exoplanet atmospheres. The grant, valued at $341,974.82, will fund the development of improved data analysis techniques to better understand the temperature structure and molecular composition of exoplanet atmospheres based on the Spitzer eclipse measurements. The award is not associated with a set-aside,...
