- 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...
- This Project Grant award of $561,821.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) on dust-gas dynamics in protoplanetary disks and the formation of planetary systems. The project aims to use computer simulations to improve understanding of how planets form from the spinning disks of gas and dust around young stars, with a focus on predicting the occurrence of...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $157,630 CAREER grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI) to conduct research and education activities related to models of planet formation and evolution. The project aims to use sophisticated computer modeling techniques to study the process of protoplanet accretion in the early solar system and reassess the development of the giant planets and Kuiper Belt. Complementary...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), provides $526,998 to Yale University to conduct research on the star formation process. The primary objectives are to: Use millimeter-wave observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) to probe the structure and evolution of star-forming regions, specifically examining how material is funneled from...
- This $249,963 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort to study planet formation by characterizing the carbon monoxide (CO) gas in protoplanetary disks surrounding new-born stars. The research team will use infrared spectroscopy and millimeter imaging from world-class ground-based observatories to probe the CO chemistry in both the inner planet-forming region and the outer...
- 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...
- This $179,648 federal Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project led by the University of Arizona. The project aims to explore the role of nature versus nurture in the formation of multiple star systems, in contrast to our own single-star solar system. The research team will use computer models incorporating physics like gravity, turbulence, radiation, and stellar...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $358,311 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to Arizona State University (ASU) to conduct collaborative research on identifying the best stars for direct imaging planet surveys and performing an initial search to discover planets orbiting other stars. The research aims to identify isolated stars less than 1 billion years old, determine their ages, and target some of these young stars to search for new...
- This Project Grant award of $314,231 from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to explore the formation of multi-star systems, including our own solar system. The University of Texas at Austin will conduct computer modeling and analysis to study the physics behind why some star-forming regions produce single stars while others form multiple gravitationally bound stars. The goal is to better understand the role of initial gas...
- This $546,489 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at New Mexico State University (NMSU) aimed at using extended emission line nebulae to study the variability of active galactic nuclei (AGN) over long timescales of 10,000 to 100,000 years. The research program has two key components: (1) developing an efficient search algorithm to...
