- 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 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 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 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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $38,714 grant to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the Exoplanet Summer Program at the Other Worlds Laboratory. This grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC is a public research university that has received numerous federal grants and contracts from agencies such as the Department of the Navy, National Science Foundation, and Department of Agriculture to support research,...
- This is a $75,354.08 grant award from NASA to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for the K2 M Dwarf Program (K2-MDP) to monitor nearby M dwarf stars for transiting exoplanets in Fields 8 and 10 of the K2 mission. The program aims to dramatically increase the number of known M dwarf planetary systems, identify new potentially habitable exoplanets, and characterize the physical properties of these systems in support of future James Webb Space Telescope observations. UCSC, a...
- This is a $40,000.00 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a research project titled "A NEW WINDOW INTO COMPACT OBJECT PHYSICS: THE WIDEST BINARIES". The grant supports fundamental research in astrophysics, with a focus on studying compact objects and binary star systems. UCSC, a public research university and Hispanic-serving institution, has a strong interdisciplinary research portfolio and...
- This is a $39,999.50 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a research project titled "Probing the Progenitor Metallicity of Type Ia Supernovae with Early-Time UV Spectroscopy". The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCSC, which has a longstanding history of collaborating with federal agencies on research and development initiatives, will leverage its expertise in astrophysics to...
- 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 is a $38,500.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for a project titled "DAILY PRECISION SPECTRA OF MARKARIAN 421 FOR VARIABILITY AND MULTIWAVELENGTH STUDIES". The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund research activities related to observing and analyzing the variability of the active galactic nucleus Markarian 421 across multiple wavelengths. As a public research...
