- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $707,101.66 grant to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), an independent, nonprofit research organization, for the development of a "nowcasting" capability to describe the solar atmosphere and inner heliosphere in near-real-time. The project aims to adapt three existing analysis methods - fluxon modeling, magnetic tracking, and wind speed measurement - into an integrated model that can be used to drive...
- Southwest Research Institute has been awarded a $523,586 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to conduct research relating to interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections or those associated with corotating interaction regions. The research aims to further understanding of the energetic ion populations present in the heliosphere. Work will be performed in San Antonio, Texas over a four-year period through February 2024. No set-aside designation or subcontracting...
- This is a $861,858 grant awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant's overarching objectives are to identify the pathways by which coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven shocks gain access to suprathermal ions from solar flares. This research aligns with NASA's Science Mission Directorate and SwRI's extensive experience in planetary science, solar physics,...
- This is a $523,307 federal grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research and development organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for research using remote sensing observations to characterize the nature of emission in the middle corona and derive the conditions, processes, and magnetic connectivity that give rise to transient and steady outflows....
- This $492,084.24 grant contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center (agency ID 8000|8000|80NSSC-A) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on March 16, 2018. The grant is for research to determine the nature of the solar dynamo and whether it consists of one fundamentally complex mechanism or two separate mechanisms. The research will leverage SDO/HMI line-of-sight magnetograms to analyze magnetic features and their evolution across the solar cycle. This work is relevant to the Solar...
Southwest Research Institute has been awarded a $266,908 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center. Under this award, Southwest Research Institute will use spectroscopic measurements from multiple solar observation missions to measure elemental abundances in the solar corona and better understand the origins and evolution of hot coronal plasma during solar flares and above active regions. Specifically, Southwest Research Institute will analyze data from the Miniature X-ray Solar Spectrometer CubeSat, Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager, Solar Dynamics Observatory, and Hinode missions to determine temperature distributions and compositions of coronal plasma from 2-50 million Kelvin. Southwest Research Institute will leverage existing techniques to simultaneously analyze datasets from these instruments and study abundance patterns over time, allowing inferences about wave behavior and heating mechanisms in the corona. No subcontractors or set-asides were identified. This research supports NASA's Science and Heliophysics programs by advancing understanding of solar physics using multi-mission data.
