This $560,337 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support collaborative research at the University of Arizona focused on improving our understanding of how convective mixing impacts the nature of gas giant exoplanet atmospheres. The project aims to develop computational simulation tools to investigate the physical, evolutionary, and observational consequences of convection for gas giant worlds, which...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $399,362 Project Grant to the University of California-Santa Cruz (UCSC) to explore the physics of cloud formation and dynamics in the atmospheres of giant planets and brown dwarfs. The three-year research program will simulate cloudy atmospheric conditions on the four solar system giant planets as well as exoplanets and brown dwarfs, in order to improve understanding of temperature, chemical mixing, and patchiness...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $324,988 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on September 15, 2024. The grant will fund a collaborative research effort to study planet formation by characterizing the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding newborn stars. The researchers will use infrared spectroscopy and millimeter imaging from ground-based observatories to...
This $110,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support a 3-year postdoctoral research and education program led by Sarah Blunt at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The project aims to investigate the formation processes of "cold giant" exoplanets located far from their host stars through a multi-pronged observational campaign. The research will refine the population-level...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program, awarded to the University of New Mexico, will conduct research to uncover the links between outer giant planets and their inner planetary systems. The $389,192 grant, awarded on July 1, 2025, will use spectroscopy to track the motions of stars known to host giant planets like Jupiter, to determine whether they have inner planets, and to analyze the atmospheric compositions of those inner...
The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) was awarded a $342,093 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant supports research titled "Early Dynamical Instabilities in Extrasolar Planetary Systems" from September 1, 2021 to August 31, 2024. The grant funds research under the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This program aims to promote progress in the mathematical and...
This $360,623 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports research on the formation and disruption of resonant chains of close-in, multiple, and low-mass exoplanets around Sun-like stars. The project combines cutting-edge observations, novel data analysis techniques, and rigorous numerical simulations to address gaps in the understanding of this planetary system architecture. The award includes funding for training programs...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $243,204 to the University of California Santa Cruz to characterize metal-poor stars in the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment survey. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the award will fund analysis of over 300 metal-poor star candidates identified in the APOGEE survey data. Follow-up observations will be conducted at Lick and Keck...
