- The Regents of the University of California, Berkeley received a $106,544 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to characterize the thermophysical surface properties of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The project will use multi-wavelength radio telescope observations to investigate how the unique internal characteristics of each...
- This $461,224 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports high-precision measurements of the rotation of Europa, Ganymede, and Venus using earth-based radar speckle tracking. The key objectives are to: 1) Confirm and improve measurements of the spin axis orientations of Europa and Ganymede, 2) Measure or place upper bounds on the amplitude of longitude librations of Europa, and 3) Measure the orientation, spin...
- The Planetary Science Institute was awarded a $279,536 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences. The grant is part of the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) and will fund collaborative research examining mass transport in Jupiter's magnetosphere and whether it is driven by internal or external processes. Over a three-year period from September 2021 through August 2024, the Institute will analyze data from previous spacecraft...
- This $310,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by William Marsh Rice University to develop a novel mathematical framework for studying inverse problems related to the seismology and magnetohydrodynamics of gas giant planets in the solar system. The project aims to gain new insights into the interior structures and equations of state of planets like Saturn and Jupiter by leveraging...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $662,579 to Boston University to conduct a comparative assessment of energetic electron precipitation driven by whistler-mode waves at Earth and Jupiter. The key objectives of this 4-year project are to: (1) characterize whistler-mode wave properties, (2) evaluate energetic electron precipitation, (3) examine nonlinear effects on electron precipitation, and (4) quantify the effects...
- This $621,104 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of New Mexico to study the relationships between outer giant planets, like Jupiter, and the formation and composition of inner rocky planets in planetary systems. The key objectives are to: 1) use spectroscopic techniques to determine if stars hosting giant exoplanets also have inner terrestrial planets, and 2) analyze...
