This is a $398,679.58 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for solar energetic particle (SEP) forecasting research. The goal is to develop the capability to forecast SEP occurrence, onset time, peak intensities, and heavy ion properties using data-intensive studies and artificial intelligence approaches. The research will analyze relationships between solar photospheric features, eruptions, and flares, and associated...
This is a $104,815.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant was issued on October 1, 2020 for research related to validating the Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) modeling performed by NASA's Solar Radiation Analysis Group (SRAG) in fiscal year 2020. The research examines the accuracy of SRAG's SEP time profile intensity modeling at...
This is a $89,684 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to develop a solar energetic proton (SEP) modeling capability. The project, referred to as SEPMod, aims to simulate the time series of SEP fluxes at locations in the inner heliosphere, including the orbit of Mars. It will leverage the data-driven WSA-ENLIL-Cone model to describe heliospheric conditions. The deliverables include a proof-of-concept real-time implementation at the Community Coordinated...
This is a $804,397.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a research project focused on understanding the origin of energetic particle seed populations associated with solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The project aims to leverage new microwave imaging data from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) to study the links between solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and the acceleration of...
The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, has been awarded a $997,040 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on forecasting large solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The research aims to use data-driven modeling and multipoint observations to better understand the connectivity between SEP origin regions, shock fronts, and the observing spacecraft. This will help quantify the...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $599,572.13 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the physical processes that lead to large-scale solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to understand how magnetic energy and helicity are transported from the solar convection zone to the corona, the mechanisms that trigger CMEs, the relationship...
This is a $6,053,252.11 grant award from NASA to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to support the Heliophysics Senior Review Panel's review of 15 ongoing NASA heliophysics missions. The review found that the missions collectively contribute to NASA's heliophysics objectives, including understanding the flow of energy and matter in the solar system, exploring fundamental physical processes of space plasma systems, and defining the origins and societal impacts of variability in...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $523,109.00 grant to the University of Delaware to conduct research on turbulence in the solar wind and its impact on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The research aims to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the intermittency of turbulence in the heliosphere, which can be used to improve models of SEP and GCR propagation and diffusion. The study will leverage data from NASA's Voyager, ACE,...
This is a $499,712.05 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the origins and properties of solar wind structures and solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The research aims to improve our understanding of the 3D structure of the heliosphere and solar wind, building upon the goals of the NASA STEREO mission. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley is the prime contractor, and the parent organization is the State...
This is a $458,102.88 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for a research project on the effects of wave-driven outbursts and mass loss in supernova progenitors. The research aims to quantify the observable impacts on progenitor properties, shock breakouts, and supernova light curves, which are crucial for interpreting data from NASA missions like Hubble, GALEX/Swift, Kepler/K2, and TESS/WFIRST. Caltech, a private research university,...
