- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $310,696 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program to Northern Arizona University (NAU) for a collaborative research project titled "Explaining the Orbits of Eccentric Warm Jupiters." The project, running from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028, focuses on studying the physics behind the migratory origins of "warm Jupiters" - exoplanets that orbit too close to their stars 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 $621,104 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research by the University of New Mexico to uncover the links between outer giant planets and their inner planetary systems. Key activities include: Using spectroscopy to track the motions of stars with known giant planets to determine if they have inner planets, and analyzing the atmospheric compositions of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $280,869 Project Grant under its Integrative Activities (IA) Program to the University of New Mexico (UNM). The grant will support a collaboration between UNM and the University of California, Riverside to perform research on how giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn impact the formation and evolution of potentially habitable Earth-like planets. The project aims to develop an unprecedented understanding of planetary system architectures and the...
- 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 $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...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $506,618 Project Grant to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will fund research to explore the origins of "polar planets" - planets with orbits significantly misaligned from the rotation of their host stars. The work will involve theoretical analysis of the long-term orbital evolution and tidal heating of these...
- 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....
- This $462,120 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research to analyze the chemical profiles of dwarf stars and their exoplanets. The primary objectives are to: (a) develop a public, data-driven tool to precisely derive stellar elemental abundances from spectroscopic data; (b) measure elemental abundances for high-priority exoplanet host stars; and (c) produce exoplanetary atmosphere models accounting...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $429,110 to New Mexico State University (NMSU) to identify and characterize young stars that could host new planets. The award will enable NMSU to catalog nearby stars less than 1 billion years old and target some of these stars to search for gas giant planets similar to Jupiter and Saturn. The research will also provide mentorship programs to engage undergraduate...
