This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA), a scientific research company based in Redmond, Washington. The $199,929 grant is for a project to produce a new temporally consistent series of solar vector magnetogram data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI) instrument. The goal is to develop an algorithm that can better disambiguate the direction of the magnetic field...
This competitive $767,692 grant from NASA will fund research by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) to measure subsurface solar flows and their relationship to the emergence and evolution of magnetic fields. Specifically, AURA will use helioseismic techniques to analyze Dopplergram data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (SDO/HMI) to derive horizontal flow profiles in the convection zone from the solar surface down to...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) to investigate and understand the lifecycle of the solar magnetic field. The grant, valued at $145,785.00, supports the use of data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument to model the propagation of solar eruptions and their effects on Earth and space-based assets. The grant aims to better...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $524,743.00 grant is for a research project to perform a comprehensive study of the subsurface and surface flows associated with active regions and their evolution using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This $153,731.41 grant from NASA to the University of California, Berkeley is funding work to aggregate, analyze, and document the in-situ data from the HELIOS 1 and 2 solar missions, which collected unprecedented measurements of the inner heliosphere over 11 years. The goal is to create a comprehensive public archive of this valuable dataset to support planning for the upcoming Solar Orbiter (SOLO) and Solar Probe Plus (SPP) missions. Key tasks include carefully analyzing and reprocessing the...
This federal contract award, valued at $523,995.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages and operates major astronomical observatories and facilities. The proposed effort will determine the contribution of subsurface flows of active regions on flux cancellation at low latitudes and the resulting poleward migration of...
This is a $133,088.88 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes.
