This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program provides $378,481 to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to study the L/T transition in brown dwarfs using polarimetry. The primary goals are to refine the understanding of this atmospheric transition in brown dwarfs and develop tools to aid in the design and analysis of future polarimetric observations of brown dwarfs and exoplanets....
The University of Central Florida was awarded a $416,532 three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support the development of machine learning techniques to enable three-dimensional mapping and characterization of brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres using significantly less computational resources than current methods. A team led by the...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences provides $103,690 to support the development of new machine learning techniques to enable three-dimensional mapping and characterization of brown dwarf and exoplanet atmospheres. Funded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), a team led by the University of Central Florida and the University of California, Santa Cruz will create a surrogate radiative transfer code using...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant award of $444,772 provides funding from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2025 to study the evolution of magnetic complexity in old sun-like stars under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). Principal investigators Metcalfe and Van Saders from the University of Hawaii at Manoa will take polarized spectra of 12 stars using the Potsdam Echelle Polarimetric and Spectroscopic Instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope and the...
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 $145,866 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences will fund a collaborative research initiative on "Polarimetric Asteroseismology of Massive Hot Stars." The project aims to determine the interior structures of these stars by observing seismic waves and applying a new polarimetric technique. The research team, comprising astronomers from Florida Gulf Coast University, Monterey Institute for Research in Astronomy, SETI...
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...
