The grant supports research to investigate the stability of magnetic flux ropes in the solar corona, which is fundamental to understanding solar activity and space weather events. The project uses a combination of solar observations, nonlinear force-free field...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, for a research project studying the evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and associated solar flares. The primary objectives are to empirically characterize the conditions and processes within observed plasma sheets, including analyzing temperature, density, and velocity variations, as well as supra-arcade...
- 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 federal contract award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division. The $868,563.17 grant is for a research project titled "Observational Constraints and Tests for Dynamos in Solar-Like Stars." The project aims to generate data on activity cycles, rotational periods, and flare/coronal mass ejection rates for solar-type stars, which will help improve solar dynamo models....
- This federal contract award is a grant to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The $233,283.51 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support research on solar flares and magnetic reconnection using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and other NASA missions. The research aims to better understand the 3D magnetic topology and energy release processes in solar flares by studying the motions,...
- This federal contract award, NNX16AC11G, was granted to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, by a civilian agency, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $835,008.65 grant will fund a research project to study the evolution of the heliosphere and interplanetary environment using the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF). Key activities include simulating stellar winds of solar analogs, examining the impact of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450,946.15 grant to Montana State University for a research project studying the initiation and acceleration of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona. The observational study will analyze data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) to establish a quantitative relationship between CME energetics and magnetic reconnection. The research aims to improve...
- This federal contract award, valued at $605,360.66, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a non-profit research and educational organization that serves as a trust instrumentality of the U.S. government. The contract supports an investigation into the energy budget and heating processes of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as they expand from the solar surface to several solar radii. The...
- This is a $1,959,917.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center division of NASA to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the global energy budget and energy partitioning in solar eruptive events from the chromosphere to the inner heliosphere. As a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies, the Smithsonian Institution through its SAO division frequently collaborates...
