- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K0397, was granted by the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The $298,419.00 grant is for a research project to use the newly developed Extreme Adaptive Optics system called MagAO-X to discover a large population of "hidden" young accreting planets, or protoplanets, in the gaps of transitional disks. The University of...
- This is a $247,477.40 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant supports the university's work on the Magellan Adaptive Optics (MagAO) instrument, an advanced adaptive optics system based at the 6.5-meter Magellan Clay Telescope in Chile. The MagAO system uses a high-order pyramid wavefront sensor to provide extremely high-resolution imaging, particularly at...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $363,224 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under solicitation 22-ADAP22-0066 to develop a comprehensive spectral line list for near-infrared spectroscopy covering the 1-5 micron wavelength range using M-dwarf and red giant stars as astronomical benchmarks. The grant, awarded on August 8, 2023, with performance concluding by August 7, 2026, supports fundamental...
- This is a $1,102,185.00 grant award to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a project titled "MULTIWAVELENGTH CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANETS AND THEIR HOST STARS". The award was made by the Shared Services Center, a civilian agency, and has a period of performance through September 28, 2026. The University of Arizona is a public research university recognized as a 1862 land grant institution and Hispanic Serving Institution. It has a history of...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, received a $489,045 research grant from a civilian federal agency with an ultimate completion date of August 7, 2026. This grant supports research on the characterization of exoplanets through improved understanding of host star properties, with particular emphasis on modeling exoplanet atmospheres where stellar irradiation drives atmospheric conditions. The research addresses significant gaps in current stellar modeling...
- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $407,638 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop models for the energy balance in exoplanet middle atmospheres. The research will incorporate non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) populations of molecular energy levels and constrain the calculated temperature profiles using exoplanet transit observations. The project will investigate the effects of the...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $424,155 grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on October 10, 2023, for research titled "Roman's Giants: Jovian Exoplanet Modeling and RCI Detectability." The research effort, which will be conducted in Tucson, Arizona, is scheduled for completion by October 9, 2026. This award carries no set-aside designation and represents a competitive award to the institution based on its...
- This federal contract award was issued by NASA to the University of Arizona, a public research university in Tucson, Arizona. The $679,275.82 grant supports research and development of an "efficient alternative" to the electric field conjugation (EFC) process used in high-contrast imaging systems for exoplanet characterization. The proposed "linear dark field control" (LDFC) approach aims to stabilize the dark field used for high-contrast imaging by tracking correlated...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AB26G, was granted by NASA to the University of Arizona for research on "New Directions in Giant Planet Formation." The $326,861.69 grant will fund theoretical research to explore the limits of the core accretion mechanism for forming giant planets, examining the effects of radiogenic heating and aerodynamic accretion. The research aims to refine model predictions for exoplanet searches across a range of stellar ages and distances. This grant does...
- This is a $87,360.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona (UA) to perform a laboratory demonstration of combined high-performance coronagraph and wide-field astrometric imaging capabilities. The goal is to augment a high-performance coronagraph, which can detect and characterize exoplanets, with wide-field astrometry to enable measurements of exoplanet masses and orbits. This work will increase the technology readiness level (TRL)...
