- This is a grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the SETI Institute, a non-profit scientific research organization. The research project aims to use new chemical models to estimate the mass of gas in protoplanetary disks and compare this to the inferred mass of dust, in order to understand the evolution of the mass reservoir during planet formation. This research is directly relevant to improving the understanding of the origins of...
- This is a $99,026.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), operating as the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). The grant is for a research project titled "Rocky Planet Habitability: Insights from Solar System Climate Dynamics Through Time," which aims to produce new 3D models to understand the habitability of rocky planets in our solar system and inform the detection...
- This is a $254,082.66 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on protoplanetary disk formation. The grant seeks to use magnetohydrodynamic simulations to study the formation of protostellar cores and disks, in order to improve understanding of the origins of exoplanetary systems. The research aims to predict the initial distributions of angular momentum and magnetic flux in protoplanetary disks,...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages and operates astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $350,793 grant is for a project titled "IT'S ELEMENTARY: CHEMICAL COMPOSITIONS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANET-HOSTING M-DWARFS USING APOGEE." The project aims to conduct detailed spectral analysis of M-dwarf stars, including...
- This is a $392,406.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for research on the processes regulating the formation of planets and their compositions. The research aims to test model predictions about dust grain migration, ice mantle formation, gas-phase molecular evolution, and disk gas dispersal, which influence planetesimal buildup and the eventual compositions of objects from comets to giant planet envelopes....
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $235,791, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Associated Universities Inc. (AUI), a non-profit research management corporation that operates major national and international scientific facilities, primarily in the field of radio astronomy. The contract, which is for research to characterize protostellar disk structure at the dawn of planet formation, does not have a set-aside designation. AUI has received...
- This federal contract award to The Trustees of Princeton University for $483,300.32 will support research on protostellar disks (PPDs), which are the nurseries of planets and feed the developing protostar. The research aims to extend previous models to calculate atomic and molecular line strengths and shapes to constrain processes like mass loss rates and accretion, as well as add the effects of magnetic fields. This work is relevant to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $296,583.99 grant to the Board of Regents of the Nevada System of Higher Education, doing business as the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), a public research university. The grant is to study planet formation and evolution in binary star systems, which is essential for understanding observed exoplanet properties. The research will investigate processes such as disk mass transfer, planet formation by disk...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Lowell Observatory, a private non-profit research institution located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The $410,689 grant supports an unprecedented infrared spectroscopic survey for substellar objects around young stars, utilizing the IGRINS spectrograph on Lowell's 4.3-meter Discovery Channel Telescope. The goal is to advance understanding of planetary formation, migration, and evolution...
- This federal contract award provides a USD 226,666.34 grant to the Institute for Advanced Study - Louis Bamberger & Mrs. Felix Fuld Foundation for research on the formation and dynamics of exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) within and around binary star systems. The grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund a project focused on understanding the complex planet formation processes in binary star environments, which present unique...
