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 $330,224.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to study the heating and cooling of solar flare loops and estimate the total energy used to heat these loops in a large sample of solar flares. The research will analyze observations from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) missions. The goal is to quantify the energy input in solar flares...
This federal contract award, with an ID of NNX16AH04G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to develop a comprehensive, self-consistent model of solar flare physics. The objective is to combine existing modeling elements to create a quantitative flare model that can reproduce observed flare evolution from reconnection through evaporation and cooling, using data from various solar observatories. The $196,419.00 grant will enable...

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 scales of 10-20 seconds. The grant utilizes existing IRIS data and has a completion date of February 2023. No set-aside designation was applied to this award made through NASA's Shared Services Center to Montana State University's Office of Sponsored Programs.
