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)...
This is a $1,069,730 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for a research project titled "Robust Deep Contrast Imaging with Self-Calibrating Coronagraph Systems." This grant, with a period of performance ending on October 10, 2026, supports the University's work in astrophysics, planetary science, and related technical disciplines. The University of Arizona, a public...
This is a $320,825.77 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university located in Tucson, Arizona. The grant is for a 6-year research effort to improve the understanding of dynamical architectures of planetary systems and the overall mass distribution of exoplanets using data from NASA missions like Kepler, James Webb Space Telescope, TESS, and WFIRST. The research will involve N-body numerical simulations to...
This $489,045 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, to support research on the characterization of exoplanets. The grant is focused on improving the understanding of host star properties, which is critical for modeling exoplanet atmospheres. The University of Arizona, as the prime recipient, has extensive capabilities across disciplines including...
The University of Arizona, acting as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $362,399.48 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to support research on discovering and characterizing habitable exoplanets. This grant, awarded on January 1, 2020, does not have a set-aside designation and is intended to support the University's scientific research capabilities in the area of astrophysics and planetary science. The grant has a period of performance through December...
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...
The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, has been awarded a $383,045 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for the "CIRCUMSTELLAR DUST A NEXUS OF PERFORMANCE, CALIBRATION, AND SCIENCE POTENTIAL IN THE ROMAN CORONAGRAPH TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATION" project. This grant, awarded on October 27, 2023, supports research and development related to the Roman Coronagraph, a technology demonstration for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space...
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...
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...
This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The $353,535.13 grant is for the University of Arizona to design and develop a Pupil Imaging and Apodized Aperture Coronagraph Mask Components (PIAACMC) system, working closely with the Principal Investigator (PI) and research team.
