About this award
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 Neptunes. The grant is undesignated and was awarded on January 1, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026. Work will be performed at UCSC's Santa Cruz, California campus.
As a public research institution and Hispanic-Serving Institution, UCSC is well-positioned to execute this theoretical research project, having demonstrated substantial expertise across astrophysics and planetary sciences through prior federal awards from agencies including NASA. The university functions as a key partner in advancing national research priorities through comprehensive research services and specialized technical capabilities across multiple scientific disciplines. This grant represents part of UCSC's broader portfolio of federal research funding, which encompasses millions of dollars in active awards across biological sciences, geosciences, and engineering disciplines from premier agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and National Institutes of Health.
Description
The goal of this theoretical proposal is to systematically investigate the formation, distribution and observational consequences of haze and clouds aerosols on warm and hot tidally locked exoplanets, such as hot jupiters and warm neptunes.
