University of Exeter student awarded grant to study exoplanet climates University of Exeter astrophysics student Mei Ting Mak has been awarded one of this year’s prestigious grants from the Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship Fund.  PhD student Mei Ting has received a grant of £35,000 to investigate the impact of various aerosols on the climate of exoplanets.  Exoplanets are now known to be ubiquitous. Amongst the thousands already detected, many candidates with potentially Earth-like or habitable conditions have been identified.   However, planetary climates can be drastically altered by the presence of non-gas phase species or aerosols in the atmosphere, such as condensate clouds, photochemically produced hazes or mineral dust. – which can play major role in controlling the planetary climate.
