The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $421,796 Project Grant to Arizona State University to conduct collaborative research on revealing exoplanet atmospheres using high-resolution spectroscopy. The 3-year grant, starting September 1, 2023, will support a team led by the University of Chicago and Arizona State University to study the atmospheres of close-in giant planets orbiting distant stars. The research aims to address four key science questions related...
This $247,902 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at the University of Arizona to model the atmospheric signatures of magmatic volcanism on temperate, Earth-like exoplanets. The project aims to determine the best spectral signatures of magmatic outgassing and how those signatures can be used to characterize the underlying exoplanets. Additionally, the award will fund the development of a new...
The National Science Foundation Division of Earth Sciences awarded a $466,000 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to support research combining isotopic tracers in meteorites and terrestrial geochemistry to understand the origin and initial composition of Earth. The three-year award beginning September 2022 will fund a collaborative research project analyzing siderophile element genetics to trace Earth's accretion and constrain the...
This $209,986 federal Project Grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001 - Science) supports the "METAMORPHOSIS: ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITIONS AS A RESULT OF HYDRODYNAMIC ESCAPE FROM SUP-NEPTUNES AND SUPER-EARTHS" research project at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). The funding will enable UCLA researchers to conduct theoretical modeling, simulations, data analysis, and laboratory experiments to...
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...
This National Science Foundation project grant of $427,234 awarded on September 1, 2022 will fund research into the origins of metal-rich gas giant planets through simulations of collisions between planetary cores. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), a team from the University of California, Berkeley will use the REBOUND and other modeling codes to simulate mergers of planetary cores and gas accretion from disks to reproduce observed metallicity trends in giant...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $376,781 to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the behavior of moderately volatile elements during silicate evaporation. The research will focus on studying how elements like alkali metals, transition metals, and sulfur-loving elements are lost or depleted in natural glasses such as tektites and volcanic glass from the Moon. Using a specialized...
