This is a $124,647.04 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct a systematic study of the atmospheres of directly imaged exoplanets. The grant is part of NASA's "Understanding the Directly Imaged Planets" program, which aims to advance exoplanet science by characterizing newly discovered planets through ground-based and space-based spectroscopy. UCSC, as a public research university and...
This is a $371,142 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to systematically investigate the formation, distribution, and observational consequences of haze and cloud aerosols on warm and hot tidally locked exoplanets, such as hot Jupiters and warm Neptunes. The contract has no set-aside designation, reflecting UCSC's status as a large research institution. UCSC is a public university and part of the...
This is a $135,000.00 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) on September 1, 2018. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, will investigate the large-scale dynamics and tracer transport in Jupiter's troposphere to explain recent observations of ammonia, arsenic hydride, and germanium hydride from the Juno mission and ground-based telescopes. The goal is to develop a...
This is a $362,325 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) for research related to the internal structure and evolution of Jupiter. The work aims to develop 3D models of Jupiter's interior, investigate the implications of atmospheric elemental abundances for the planet's formation, and constrain the properties of hydrogen and helium at the temperatures and pressures where Jupiter's magnetic field originates. The...
This is a $86,567.24 federal grant award to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on the roles of organic compounds produced by photolysis and radiolysis in various physical and chemical processes on Titan, Saturn's largest moon. The grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on March 1, 2022, with a performance period ending on January 16, 2024. UCSC, a public research university and Hispanic-Serving Institution, frequently...
The University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) received a $333,766.66 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct a systematic study on the atmospheric hazes and thermal structures of Pluto, Triton, and Titan. The research aims to investigate how hydrocarbon haze particles influence the radiative heating and cooling of these low-gravity icy bodies. UCSC will use microphysical models and thermal structure models to predict the distribution of haze particles and...
This federal contract award, valued at $522,742.93, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to advance the understanding of atmospheric spectra, structure, and composition of giant exoplanets. The work will leverage the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to study hydrogen-dominated atmospheres, from sub-Neptunes to super-Jupiters. The research includes upgrading...
This is a $707,564.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to develop a physical model of Lyman-alpha transits in the photoevaporation and core-powered mass-loss model. UCSC, a Hispanic-Serving Institution and land grant university, has a strong track record of conducting cutting-edge research in astrophysics and other scientific domains for federal agencies. The grant has a performance period ending on...
NASA awarded a $86,000.00 grant to the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) to conduct research on the hydrodynamics of planetary engulfment.
