About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $512,777 grant to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit research university, to perform research related to modeling the path and growth of dust grains in protoplanetary disks, tracking the chemical changes that occur as they form pebbles that can lead to the formation of planets. This research grant does not have a set-aside designation and will be completed by March 31, 2025. As a leading research institution, the University of Chicago has received numerous prime and subcontract awards from federal agencies like the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to support its academic research across a wide range of scientific disciplines.
Description
We will build on our recent efforts by applying our existing numerical models to track the paths that dust grains take through the protoplanetary disk, allow the grains to grow into larger aggregates and change the opacity of the disk, record the environments to which they were exposed, and calculate the chemical changes that occur until they are locked up in pebbles, providing the feedstock for planetesimals and planets.
