This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), with a potential value of $269,335.99. The grant is for research on how ultraviolet radiation from massive stars in stellar clusters can impact the evolution of protoplanetary disks around lower-mass stars like our Sun. The research will leverage observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and radiative-hydrodynamic simulations to study disk gas and dust properties as indicators of photo-evaporation. This aligns with NASA's Emerging Worlds mission to understand protoplanetary disk processes relevant to planet formation. The award has no set-aside designation, and the parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office.
