- 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 award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for research on hydrodynamical processes in planet-forming accretion disks. The grant, valued at $298,723.87, is intended to develop theoretical models of various hydrodynamic instabilities and their impact on disk evolution and planet formation. The research will incorporate realistic factors like disk thermodynamics, dust...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for research related to planetary systems and minor bodies like asteroids and comets. The award, valued at $88,973.59, runs through August 14, 2024 and does not have a set-aside designation. The University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, will provide services including theoretical and computational modeling, laboratory experimentation, field...
- This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona provides $198,132.38 in funding for a research project titled "Debris Disk Variability - Exploring the Diverse Outcomes of Large Collisions During the Eras of Oligarchic and Chaotic Growth." The project aims to study the formation and evolution of planetary systems through observations of young exoplanetary debris disks and their variability. This research will support...
- This is a $107,899.25 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for the project "Tools for Advanced Dynamical Characterization of Solar System Small Bodies." This effort involves research and development on advanced tools to characterize the dynamics of small bodies, such as asteroids and comets, within our solar system. The University of Arizona, a public research university...
- 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $132,508.25 Training Grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct a detailed mineralogical study of small irregular satellites and Trojan asteroids of the giant planets. The research aims to test the hypothesis that these objects originate from the same source, which could provide insights into the early dynamic evolution of the solar system. This award supports NASA's goals for...
- This is a $124,130.15 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for research on the direct imaging and interferometry of proto-planets at the epoch of disk clearing. The grant runs from July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2021. The University of Arizona is a public research university and 1862 land grant institution located in Tucson, Arizona. As a state government entity, higher education...
- This is a $66,079.71 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, a public research university and land grant institution. The award supports the "Accurate Measurement of Exoplanetary Masses," which is a critical aspect of NASA's science vision. As a major research university, the University of Arizona has broad capabilities across disciplines such as astrophysics, planetary science, and materials science, and has...
- This federal contract award is a grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The grant, valued at $3,426,305.00, supports a scientific investigation program focused on active galactic nuclei and their host galaxies, as well as debris disk research. This effort builds upon the University of Arizona's prior work with the Spitzer Space Telescope and proposes to leverage new...
This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AP53H, was issued by NASA to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to perform three-dimensional protoplanetary disk simulations to better understand the formation of planetesimals, which are the building blocks of planets. The $108,820.21 award, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to advance scientific knowledge about the early stages of planetary formation, fulfilling NASA's science objectives. The University of Arizona, as a public research university and land grant institution, has extensive capabilities across disciplines including astrophysics and planetary science, enabling it to effectively execute this research project. The award is part of NASA's broader program focused on "The Origin of Planetesimals in the Early Evolution of Planetary Systems."
