About this award
This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $93,548.00, was granted to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) Grants and Contracts Administration Division. The award supports a 3-year research plan for UAF's Co-Investigator funding under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Heliophysics Magnetospheric Multiscale Guest Investigators (H-MMSGI) program. The research will study the formation and evolution of flux transfer events observed by the MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale) mission, including determining the conditions that favor bursty reconnection and the motion and disintegration of these events on the dayside magnetopause and flanks. The award does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting UAF's status as a public university. As the University of Alaska System's flagship institution, UAF conducts extensive Arctic and climate-related research, leveraging its specialized facilities and expertise to support a variety of federal scientific initiatives.
Description
This proposal is to receive a CO-investigator funding that was selected from 2016 NASA heliophysics magnetospheric multiscale guest investigators (h-mmsgi) program. This proposal outlines a 3-year research plan to support the funded h-mmsgi project titled "motion and evolution of transient events observed by the MMS mission". This original project will study the formation and evolution of flux transfer events (ftes) by combining MMS observations and numerical simulations. In particular, IT will determine which conditions favor the occurrence of bursty reconnection and FTE generation on the dayside magnetopause and which (if any) on the magnetopause flanks. Furthermore, IT will determine the direction and speed of FTE motion and how the events evolve or disintegrate as they move downstream. During three project years, prof. Connor will provide the numerical simulation support for the successful science closure of the hmmsgi project
