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 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, titled "COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH: PROTOCOMETS TO PROTOPLANETS: CONNECTING THE CHEMICAL ECOSYSTEMS OF PLANET-FORMING DISKS ACROSS THE SPECTRUM", will support research to characterize the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in disks surrounding new-born stars. The $213,635 award, effective September 15, 2024 through August 31, 2027, will utilize data from ground-based observatories like the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Keck...
This $507,210 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports a coordinated experimental, theoretical, and observational study led by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory to advance the understanding of complex carbon chemistry in interstellar space. The key objectives are to: 1) Identify new organic molecules and determine the chemical pathways that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant award of $449,288 will fund a 3-year research program at Columbia University to investigate variations in planet formation conditions. The research will utilize radio telescopes to analyze the structure and chemistry of protoplanetary disks around young stars, particularly in environments that have been less characterized. Specific objectives include comparing the chemical properties of disks undergoing late...
This $396,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports observational and laboratory studies of the evolution of circumstellar material from late-stage stellar evolution. The primary objectives are to: 1) Conduct a broadband millimeter-wave survey to analyze the carbon budget and isotope ratios in the carbon-rich envelope of the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star IRC+10216; 2) Perform laboratory measurements of the rotational...
This $578,577 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on August 15, 2023. The award supports collaborative research to spatially resolve the mechanisms driving star formation quenching in galaxies using molecular gas observations. The project will leverage recently completed galaxy surveys and state-of-the-art simulations to investigate whether the cessation of star...
This Project Grant award, valued at $169,693, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The award will fund a collaborative research project between the California Institute of Technology, University of Miami, and University of Maryland to study the Cosmic Microwave Background and the epoch of reionization using carbon monoxide (CO) line intensity mapping. The research team will work with the Caltech...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $522,928 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to President and Fellows of Harvard College. The grant will fund a legacy spectral line survey of 40 protoplanetary disks using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). The research team will survey 120 GHz of bandwidth between 210 and 370 GHz at high spectral resolution to study the chemistry of the outer disk regions, beyond the water snowline, where comets and most...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $304,966 to the Space Science Institute under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to complete the Combined Dense Gas and Excitation Atlas of the Milky Way (CODEX). The investigator will map carbon monoxide (CO) molecular emission across the Milky Way galaxy to better understand star formation processes within molecular clouds. They will release the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences Project Grant, awarded on August 1, 2023 for $242,524, supports collaborative research by the University of Arizona aimed at exploring the composition of exoplanetary systems through observations and modeling of dusty circumstellar disks around other stars. The research goal is to determine the composition of rocky material orbiting other stars by analyzing the dust released from colliding rocks, which reflects and...
