This research aims to leverage stellar rotation data to better...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- This is a grant award to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a project titled "Non-Destructive Analysis of Comet Grains and Tracks: Minerals and Original Grain Properties". The $389,909.47 award will fund the use of three non-destructive 3D imaging and analysis techniques - laser scanning confocal microscopy, stereo X-ray fluorescence chemical mapping, and laser Raman microscopy - to study comet grains...
- This is a $86,323.86 grant awarded by NASA to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) for the Backyard Worlds project. The award period is from January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2020. Under this grant, the AMNH team will execute observing programs using various telescopes, reduce and analyze the collected data, lead binary analysis efforts, and publish 1-2 papers on the current data. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting AMNH's status as a large non-profit research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $199,971.41 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) to support research on asteroidal meteorites and their implications for exoplanet atmospheres and early planetary formation. Specifically, the grant will fund the establishment of cosmochemistry and scanning electron microscope laboratories at UCSC to conduct experiments constraining the timing of fluid activity in early planetesimals and the initial abundance of...
- This federal contract award is for a grant to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), a renowned non-profit research institution located in New York City. The $99,736.87 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will fund research related to the migration timescale of exoplanets, the rate of giant impacts, and the assembly of terrestrial planets. The award, which does not have a set-aside designation, is part of AMNH's extensive portfolio of prime federal...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $541,000 grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to examine chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in primitive meteorites to determine if they preserve evidence of volatile incorporation from the solar nebula and record open-system behavior during parent body alteration. The...
This is a $452,580.81 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to conduct interdisciplinary research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, with a focus on investigating the physics and chemistry of solid and liquid material formation in the protoplanetary disk, and how those materials accreted into larger bodies. The research combines astrophysical-cosmochemical theory and modeling, petrological and chemical studies of meteorites, and laboratory experiments. Specific activities include 3D computed tomography mapping of meteorites, modal mineral abundance analysis, and trace element partitioning studies. The research aims to increase understanding of asteroid physical properties and their potential as in-situ resources for space exploration, while also informing astrophysical models of the early solar system. This grant work does not have a set-aside designation. AMNH, a renowned non-profit scientific and educational institution, frequently receives federal research grants and contracts from agencies like NASA to leverage its scientific expertise and collections.
