This National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant award (CFDA 47.049) for $389,192 supports a 5-year research project at the University of New Mexico (UNM) to study the links between outer giant planets and their inner planetary systems. The project aims to use spectroscopy to determine if inner planets exist around stars known to host giant planets like Jupiter, and to analyze the atmospheric compositions of any detected inner planets to understand the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) in the amount of $291,124 to the University of New Mexico (UNM) with a start date of January 1, 2024 and completion by December 31, 2025. This grant will fund a research fellowship for an assistant professor and graduate student training at UNM to study the fundamental properties of dark matter using detailed observations of the Milky Way's satellite galaxies. The project...
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 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund a $697,725 project over 3 years to detect and characterize new low-mass planets orbiting distant stars. The award will support a team at San Francisco State University, which will use the EXPRES high-precision radial velocity spectrograph to find small, long-period planets in systems similar to our own solar system....
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...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $325,293 to The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) to conduct collaborative exoplanet research. The key objectives are to discover new exoplanets using advanced ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics, as well as measure the masses and orbits of the detected planets. The research will leverage the Subaru Coronagraphic Extreme Adaptive Optics Project (SCExAO)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) project grant award of $286,524 to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) is focused on using simulations to generate testable predictions for the NASA ESPEX mission.
