- The University of California, Santa Cruz was awarded a $362,317 research grant by a civilian federal agency to develop three-dimensional interior structure models of Jupiter and investigate the planet's internal composition and evolution. The project, titled "Modeling the Three-Dimensional Gravity Field and Inhomogeneous Evolution of Jupiter," seeks to integrate atmospheric observations of elemental abundances—particularly oxygen and helium—with advanced computational modeling to...
- The federal contract award NNX15AJ41G, valued at $126,171.90, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley. The award is for acquiring new infrared observations of Jupiter to determine the vertical structure and horizontal distribution of water clouds, as well as the abundance and vertical profile of gaseous H2O, NH3, and PH3 in Jupiter's troposphere. These...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $135,000.00 training grant contract to the Regents of the University of Michigan to conduct research on Jupiter's magnetosphere. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, aims to develop a better understanding of the global configuration, internal and external variations, and the dynamics of Jupiter's magnetosphere through magnetohydrodynamic modeling. The research will leverage data from previous and ongoing...
- This is a $280,099.06 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to advance the understanding of Jupiter's atmospheric dynamics through the analysis of data from the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) instrument on the Juno spacecraft. The objective is to study Jupiter's 3D atmospheric dynamics as revealed by the JIRAM and Doppler velocimetry measurements. This grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs...
- This is a $117,049 cooperative agreement awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on April 21, 2019 to conduct research in support of the Juno spacecraft mission to Jupiter. Under the agreement, UC Berkeley will acquire new infrared observations of Jupiter at high spectral and spatial resolution to study the vertical structure and distribution of water clouds, as well as the abundance and vertical profile of gaseous H2O, NH3, and PH3 in Jupiter's troposphere. These...
- This is a $94,998.19 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Aeolis Research Inc., a for-profit research company. The goal of the project is to develop improved parameterizations of moist convection processes in the atmospheres of gas giant planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, for use in global climate models. This will help further the understanding of the general circulation and climate dynamics of these planetary bodies. The grant supports research that...
- This federal contract award is a $430,525 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on the characteristics of large impact features on the Galilean icy satellites of Jupiter (Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). The research aims to test hypotheses on the formation and evolution of these impact basins, which exhibit unique features compared to craters on other solar system bodies. The work will involve...
- This federal contract award, valued at $522,742.93, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to advance the understanding of atmospheric spectra, structure, and composition of giant exoplanets. The work will leverage the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study hydrogen-dominated atmospheres, from sub-Neptunes to super-Jupiters. The research includes upgrading...
- The University of California, Santa Cruz received a $5.01 million research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a completion date of April 30, 2026. This grant supports an interdisciplinary research program investigating the formation, evolution, and characterization of planetary atmospheres around other stars, with particular focus on understanding volatile element pathways from star-forming clouds through protoplanetary disks to planets. The research...
- New Mexico State University (NMSU) received a $165,000 research grant awarded August 21, 2020, with a completion date of December 31, 2024, to develop a methodology for constraining the three-dimensional atmospheric energy cycle of Jupiter using data from the Jovian Infrared Auroral Mapper (JIRAM) imaging spectrometer aboard the Juno spacecraft. The research, led by student Ali Hyder, focuses on exploring the energetics of the Jovian atmosphere through chemical transport and dynamics analysis....
