- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $640,439.00 grant to the University of Delaware to study the transition region of the solar wind as it flows out from the corona and into the heliosphere. The research aims to characterize the large-scale heliospheric conditions in this region, which is critical for understanding the origin of various physical processes in the solar wind. The study will combine remote sensing observations from the STEREO mission with global...
- This is a $447,928.44 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Delaware to employ advanced global multi-temperature magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation to study fundamental problems of heating and acceleration of the solar corona and solar wind plasma. The research aims to understand how turbulence affects the properties of the solar wind, while also providing data to support upcoming Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions. The three-year project will refine the MHD model to...
