Full Description of Opportunity:
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Research Grants (AAG) Program provides
individual investigator research grants in the following themes: Planetary
Astronomy (PLA) - Theoretical and observational studies of the detailed
structure and composition of the surfaces, interiors, and atmospheres of
the planets and satellites in the Solar System; the nature of small bodies
(asteroids and comets); the inter-planetary medium; and the origin and
development of the Solar System. Laboratory investigations of relevance to
Solar System phenomena are included in this theme. Stellar Astronomy and
Astrophysics (SAA) - Theoretical and observational studies of the
structure and activity of the Sun and other stars; the physical properties
and composition of all types of single and multiple stars; extra-solar
system planet formation and detection; star formation and stellar
evolution; stellar nucleosynthesis; and the properties of atoms and
molecules of relevance to stellar a
stronomy. Galactic Astronomy (GAL) - Theoretical and observational
studies on the composition, structure, and evolution of the Milky Way
galaxy and nearby galaxies. Research may focus on the stellar populations
in these galaxies; the characteristics of star clusters; the interstellar
medium; and the properties of atomic and molecular constituents of the
interstellar medium. Relevant laboratory investigations are included.
Extragalactic Astronomy and Cosmology (EXC) - Theoretical and
observational studies of the more distant Universe. Research topics
include galaxy formation, evolution, and interaction; active galaxies;
quasars; large-scale structure; and all areas of cosmology. |
