- The University of California, Santa Cruz received a $5.01 million research grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) with a completion date of April 30, 2026. This grant supports an interdisciplinary research program investigating the formation, evolution, and characterization of planetary atmospheres around other stars, with particular focus on understanding volatile element pathways from star-forming clouds through protoplanetary disks to planets. The research...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $360,676.72 grant to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to conduct research on exoplanet characterization. The research aims to use the SCExAO and CHARIS instruments on the Subaru Telescope to survey for new exoplanets around nearby young stars, obtain and characterize spectra of both newly discovered and known exoplanets, and use the spectra to infer the planets' properties and connect them to theories of giant...
- This federal contract award, with ID NNX16AG08G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to investigate large-scale dynamics and tracer transport in the middle atmosphere of the gas giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The $387,655.97 grant supports the use of comprehensive three-dimensional circulation models to improve understanding of these planetary atmospheres based on space-based and...
- The University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) received a $371,142 grant award (21-XRP21-0083) from a civilian federal agency to conduct research on exoplanet aerosols. The research initiative, titled "Towards a Holistic Understanding of Exoplanet Aerosols Using Microphysical Modeling," aims to systematically investigate the formation, distribution, and observational consequences of haze and cloud aerosols on warm and hot tidally locked exoplanets, including hot Jupiters and warm...
- This federal contract award, valued at $437,920.33, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct a program of moderate resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of directly imaged exoplanets. The goal is to advance the understanding of planet formation, chemistry, and atmospheric composition for this class of exoplanets. This research will complement current and future NASA exoplanet missions by investigating the...
- This $129,556.23 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was provided to the University of Chicago, a private research university, to support research on the effect of cloud microphysics on the climate and observational prospects of potentially habitable exoplanets. This research is a major goal for NASA's upcoming James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission as well as future missions such as LUVOIR, OST, and HABEX. The grant is intended to support the...
- This $203,354.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was awarded to Cornell University to enable the successful interpretation of atmospheric exoplanet data for current and future NASA missions. The effort will support the analysis of data from missions like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) that have broader wavelength coverage and higher spectral resolution than previous space telescopes, allowing detection of a variety of molecular features at high...
- This is a $393,748 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to study the relationship between the chemical composition of exoplanets and their host stars. The research aims to better understand how the metal content of planets is influenced by the abundances of elements like iron, silicon, and carbon in their parent stars. This work aligns with NASA's Exoplanets Research Program objectives to determine the...
- The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) was awarded a $707,564 research grant on January 1, 2023, to develop a physical model of Lyman-alpha transits in photoevaporation and core-powered mass-loss models for exoplanets. The project, with completion targeted for December 31, 2026, addresses a critical gap in understanding atmospheric mass-loss processes that shape exoplanetary populations. Specifically, the research will create a physically motivated and self-consistent model to interpret...
- This $399,508.01 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) will fund research to directly characterize the atmospheres of exoplanets using high-resolution infrared spectroscopy. The research aims to measure molecular species like water, carbon monoxide, and methane in the atmospheres of nearby Jupiter- and Neptune-sized exoplanets, in order to understand their atmospheric composition, temperature...
