- This is a $494,978.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin System for research on chondrules in primitive meteorites. The research aims to understand how these meteoritic features formed in the proto-planetary disk and postdated the oldest refractory inclusions by 2.5 million years. This grant is not associated with a set-aside program and is part of the university system's larger federal research portfolio, which includes...
- NASA awarded a $377,452 grant to the University of New Mexico (UNM) to investigate the early history of the solar system. The research will focus on analyzing primitive meteorites, conducting experiments to reproduce early solar system processes, and performing isotopic analyses of samples. The grant supports three primary tasks: 1) a petrologic study of refractory inclusions in low-grade carbonaceous chondrites and an investigation of the effects of metamorphism on chondrite parent bodies, 2)...
- This is a $565,000 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago. The grant supports a study on the isotopic composition of refractory lithophile elements in the earliest solar system materials, including refractory inclusions and chondrites. The goal is to better understand the nebular processes that controlled the chemical fractionation and mixing of elements during the formation of the solar system and the subsequent...
- This is a $712,740 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin - Madison, operating as Research and Sponsored Programs under the University of Wisconsin System. The grant is to obtain high-precision oxygen and magnesium isotope analyses of particles recovered from the Comet 81P/Wild 2 Stardust mission, in order to understand the origin of the particles in the early solar system. The research aims to analyze the mineralogy, chemistry,...
- This is a $1,289,957.12 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Origins of Refractory Material in Stellar Systems from an Atomistic to a Macroscale Perspective." The grant is part of NASA's Emerging Worlds program, which supports research aimed at understanding the formation and early evolution of the solar system. The project will use a multifaceted approach integrating nanoscale analytical...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $541,000 grant to the Carnegie Institution of Washington, doing business as the Carnegie Institution for Science, a nonprofit research organization. The grant supports research to examine chondrules and calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) in primitive meteorites to determine if they preserve evidence of volatile incorporation from the solar nebula and record open-system behavior during parent body alteration. The...
- This is a $1,240,000 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Chicago, a leading research university, to conduct scientific research on the early solar system and its precursors. The research aims to better understand the nature and timing of mixing and nebular processing in the early solar system, the sources of dust in the solar nebula, stellar nucleosynthesis, and the chronology of the first few million years of...
- This is a $1,044,966.98 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, a public research university, to conduct research on refractory dust, which provides clues about the formation of our solar system. The research involves detailed microscopic and computational analyses of meteoritic components, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions and circumstellar grains, to understand their thermodynamic origins and the pressure-temperature...
- This is a $472,997.60 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Arizona State University to investigate shock effects, conditions, and ages in the earliest impacts recorded in ordinary chondrite meteorites. The goal is to better understand impact processes in the first 400 million years of the solar system's history. The research will utilize advanced mineralogical and microstructural analysis techniques, including polarized-light microscopy, Raman...
- This is a $452,580.81 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) to conduct interdisciplinary research on the formation and early evolution of the solar system, with a focus on investigating the physics and chemistry of solid and liquid material formation in the protoplanetary disk, and how those materials accreted into larger bodies. The research combines astrophysical-cosmochemical theory and modeling, petrological...
