The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $343,307 Project Grant to the University of Hawaii at Manoa to support collaborative research titled "Early Planet Formation in Embedded Disks" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024.
The grant funds research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise through increasing knowledge and enhancing understanding of major problems. Specifically, the University of Hawaii will conduct research exploring early planet formation processes within disks surrounding young stars. The three-year award provides funding to study how planets come together from dust and gas in embedded disks, yielding insights with broad relevance to understanding the origins of our own solar system and extrasolar planetary systems.
