The grant, which has a period of performance through November 30, 2027, is intended to support astrophysical research using the Magellanic Clouds as a new laboratory. The University of Arizona is a public research university and a 1862 land grant institution,...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Texas A&M University for a project titled "Seeing Core-Collapse Supernovae in the Ultraviolet". The $477,930.37 grant will fund research to better understand the properties and evolution of core-collapse supernovae through the analysis of ultraviolet observations from various space missions, including the Swift satellite. The project aims to create bolometric light curves and spectra to constrain...
- 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...

- The University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $744,406.75 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to continue their astrometry research on Near-Earth Objects (NEOs). The grant provides funding to use competitively-allocated telescopes larger than 2 meters in diameter to improve the accuracy of predictions of close approaches and prevent scientifically interesting NEOs from becoming lost. The research focuses on promptly...
This is a $282,978.94 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate the cosmological and theoretical implications of the Swift space telescope's discovery of bimodality in the ultraviolet-optical colors of normal Type Ia supernovae. The research aims to dramatically increase the sample of supernovae observed by the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope (UVOT) and analyze the differences between the "UV-red" and "UV-blue" supernova groups to better understand supernova explosion physics and progenitors. This work is intended to support improvements to supernova-based cosmological distance measurements and models. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a public research university and 1862 land grant institution, the University of Arizona has extensive capabilities in astrophysics, planetary science, and other technical disciplines to support NASA's space science mission.
