The Catholic University of America (CUA) has been awarded a $233,842.23 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to research the magnetic field properties of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their impact on space weather predictions. The research aims to understand how CME deflection and rotation can cause asymmetries in the magnetic profiles observed in-situ, which could be used to improve predictive models. CUA will combine observations and modeling near the Sun and at 1 AU to investigate the correlation between CME kinematics and in-situ signatures. This work supports NASA's goals of determining the origins of solar activity and predicting variations in the space environment. The grant does not have a set-aside designation and is scheduled for completion by February 14, 2023.
