This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct research on particle energization in solar flares. The $459,998.43 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund a project that combines observations from various NASA missions, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph...
This is a $404,813.38 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) for a research project titled "USING CHROMOSPHERIC AND TRANSITION REGION SIGNATURES TO MEASURE PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC RECONNECTION AND ENERGY RELEASE IN SOLAR FLARES". The award is not a set-aside contract and is intended to fund scientific research and technical services related to the study of solar flares and magnetic reconnection. As a leading research...
This is a $524,336.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The grant supports focused data analysis to quantify the relationships between the nonthermal component of flare-accelerated electrons and the thermal response in "cold" solar flares, a subset of early impulsive flares with a relatively modest thermal response. The goal is to obtain new knowledge about the...
Montana State University has been awarded a $384,312 grant by NASA to study transient solar flare downflows observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) satellite. The research will analyze IRIS high-cadence imagery and spectroscopy to understand the magnetic reconnection process underlying solar flares. Specifically, the project aims to characterize downflow velocities and decay times in flare ribbons, building on previous IRIS observations that resolved elementary loops on...
This is a $385,622.42 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to model the development and evolution of coronal magnetic structure using the RADMHD code, with the model photospheric magnetic field vectors matching the observed data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The research will compare the simulated emission from the model to observational data from NASA missions such as...
This is a $674,220.19 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the magnetic field structure and dynamics associated with solar flares exhibiting circular ribbon patterns. The research aims to advance the understanding of the physical processes driving these unusual solar events, including the interaction between active filaments and the fan-spine magnetic field topology. The project will leverage...
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 is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a focused program of fundamental research on solar flare dynamics. The research aims to obtain quantitative information on the evolution of solar flare parameters like magnetic field and fast electron distribution over time scales down to 1 second, in order to infer the basic processes occurring in solar flares. The research leverages data from...
This is a $141,780.01 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (Nwra), a scientific research organization specializing in geophysical and space sciences. The grant is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and is focused on studying the role of the Lorentz force in solar flares. The project will involve retrieving the variation in height and lateral space of the magnetic field vector using data from the Hinode/SOT...
This is a 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. The $353,295.16 grant is for research to understand whether the "nanoflare hypothesis" can explain coronal heating, by analyzing new high-quality data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and using modeling to identify and correct for systematic effects. The research aims...
