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 $100,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) to conduct research on searching for young, newly formed planets in open stellar clusters using high-precision photometry data from the K2 mission. The research is part of NASA's PICK2 program to understand the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. UT Austin is the prime grantee and will perform this work without any set-aside designation. The...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) for research related to exoplanets. The grant has a potential value of $282,245.53 and a completion date of May 16, 2023. The contract is not set aside for any specific business type. UT Austin, a public research university, is the prime contractor for this grant. The University of Texas System, the parent organization of UT Austin, has...
This is a $150,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to support research on appraising the habitable zones of nearby sun-like stars for future life search missions. The grant is a research contract with a period of performance from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. As a major research university, the University of Texas at Austin has extensive experience executing federal research contracts and grants, including for...
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 federal contract award to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) is for a $568,757 grant to develop methods for directly imaging long-period exoplanets around nearby stars. The goal is to identify promising target stars with astrometric evidence of long-period companions, then follow up with high-contrast imaging to search for new planets. This work aligns with NASA's Exoplanet Research Program and aims to identify optimal targets for future observations with the James Webb Space...
This federal contract award, with identification number 80NSSC22K0489, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin), a prominent public research university. The $491,103 grant will fund research to support two key goals of NASA's Cosmic Origin program: (1) the evolution of the reionization process, and (2) using Lyman-alpha emission as a tracer of reionization. The research will utilize observations from the Spitzer/IRAC...
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 contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K0505, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin, a public research university and component of the University of Texas System. The $578,272.14 grant is for a research project titled "CHEMICAL DIFFERENTIATION IN PLANETESIMALS IN THE EARLY SOLAR SYSTEM LEADS TO MELTING OF BOTH METALLIC AND SILICATE PHASES." The research aims to improve the modeling of metal and...
This federal contract award, NNX16AJ11G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Texas at Austin to conduct research on planets around low-metallicity stars. The $99,724.46 grant will support the analysis of data from the K2 mission to search for transiting exoplanets around a large sample of sub-solar metallicity stars. The goal is to determine the characteristics of the first stars in the galaxy to form potentially habitable planetary systems. The research team includes experts from the University of Texas at Austin, the German Aerospace Center (DLR), the University of Cologne, the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), and the Australian National University. This grant does not have a set-aside designation.
