- This is a $448,720 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to study how assumptions in atmospheric retrieval models impact the interpretation of transiting exoplanet atmosphere data. The research aims to optimize modeling tools to maximize the scientific return from the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope and other future space-based platforms observing exoplanet atmospheres. Key aspects include investigating the effects of...
- This is a $488,088 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to identify the characteristics and distribution of potentially habitable environments around low mass stars. The grant aims to quantify and explore the effects of high energy radiation on habitable zone terrestrial planets by building a statistically significant grid of updated models for the ultraviolet spectral range, which impacts the formation, chemistry,...
- This is a $1,953,008 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct research on the early history of the solar system. The objective is to better understand processes in the solar nebula and on planetesimals through investigations of radiogenic isotope systematics, stable isotope systematics, and trace element geochemistry of primitive and differentiated meteorites. The research addresses NASA's Emerging Worlds program goals...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K1085, is a $250,597.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU). The contract, titled "EXPLORATION OF A VOLATILE-RICH ASTEROID FROM THE MACRO- TO THE NANO-SCALE," has an ultimate completion date of August 23, 2026. ASU, a prominent Hispanic-serving state-controlled educational institution, has a strong track record of executing federal contract and grant...
- This is a $78,881.63 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University (ASU) to address the evolution of space weather around host stars and determine implications for the detection of habitable zone planets by determining the ultraviolet (UV) evolution of K dwarfs. The award does not have a set-aside designation. ASU is the prime contractor and there are no major subcontractors mentioned. The award is for research and has a completion date...
- 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 federal contract award, NNX16AP50H, was granted to Arizona State University (ASU) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study the accretion of gas onto planets and the formation of planetary atmospheres. The $101,130.93 contract supports a 3-year research project that will use hydrodynamic simulations to examine how planets can accrete and retain substantial primary proto-atmospheres from the surrounding nebula gas, including cases where the planet is perturbed into an eccentric orbit. This work has implications for understanding the delivery of volatiles to the early Earth, as well as the habitability of exoplanets. The contract is aligned with NASA's goals to explore and observe the objects in the solar system to understand how they formed and evolved, and to advance the understanding of the chemical and physical processes in the solar system. No set-aside designation was used for this award.
