About this award
This is a $90,209.41 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, to conduct high-quality 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) modeling and analysis of the global solar corona. The primary objectives are to develop realistic, observation-based MHD solutions for specific time periods of interest, such as the perihelion passages of sun-grazing comets, and to investigate the implications for the solar wind and heliosphere. The principal investigator, Dr. Downs, will provide model data and consult with other researchers on the project, deliver annual reports, and assist with scientific publications and presentations. This grant award does not appear to be associated with a larger contract vehicle and is not designated as a small business set-aside.
Description
DR. Downs primary role on this project is to tailor and conduct high quality 3D MAG- netohydrodynamic (MHD) solutions of the global solar corona for specific time periods of interest (sun-grazing comet perihelia). Once suitably realistic, observation-based MHD solutions are developed, he will supply model data extracted along comet trajectories to the other investigators on the project and consult with them on the results. He will also help investigate the solar wind implications/connections of cometary ions deposited onto magnetic field lines low in the heliosphere. The primary perihelion passages identified in the project are c/2011 N3 (soho), comet lovejoy (2011), and comet 2012 S1 (ison). Based on the course of the project and feedback from the other investigators, DR. Downs will improve these cases and/or generate MHD solutions for other cases as necessary. DR. Downs will deliver annual reports to NASA and dean pesnell describing work for each year of the project. DR. Downs will also lead or assist with the preparation of scientific manuscripts and/or presentations at meetings as needed during the project.
