- This is a $607,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms that transfer energy between electromagnetic fields and charged particles in the solar wind. The project aims to identify and characterize the specific plasma and solar wind conditions under which different energy transfer mechanisms dominate, in order to improve global models of the heliosphere. The research will...
- This is a $530,331.01 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate the spatial distribution of energetic particles across interplanetary shocks. The research aims to study the local intensity enhancements, or "spikes", of supra-thermal particles at the shock front, which are not well-explained by current theoretical models. The project will analyze high-resolution...
- The University of Arizona, operating under the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $743,923.00 grant from NASA's Shared Services Center for a research project titled "E014042-NON-LINEAR SOLAR WIND TURBULENT HEATING FROM 0.08 TO 5.2 AU". The grant has an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2026. The University of Arizona is a public research university recognized as a 1862 land grant institution and Hispanic Serving Institution, with extensive capabilities in areas such as...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $792.6K research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate solar energetic particles (SEPs) and their role in space weather forecasting and modeling. This research supports NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission by analyzing data from the Parker Solar Probe, Advanced Composition Explorer, Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, and Mars Atmosphere...
- This is a $376,518.03 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona for research on the acceleration of charged particles, primarily protons, from thermal to suprathermal energies by interplanetary shocks. The University will analyze data from NASA spacecraft like ACE, WIND, STEREO, and GEOTAIL, combined with numerical modeling and analytic theory, to identify the acceleration mechanism involved. This research is closely related to the scientific goals of the proposed IMAP (Interstellar...
- This is a $211,500.00 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona to study the origin and transport of energetic charged particles and cosmic rays in the heliosphere. The grant will support a focused and detailed study using spacecraft data, theory, and numerical simulations to investigate the acceleration of charged particles from thermal to superthermal energies. The research aims to develop modern theories and sophisticated models to make predictions that can be compared with in-situ...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $783,432.65 grant for research to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, on December 5, 2018. The research grant is focused on validating NASA's Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Edition 4 cloud property products, which have been significantly improved compared to previous editions but still have some outstanding issues that require further investigation. The research...
- This is a $150,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, for high-resolution n-body simulations of the Magellanic Clouds. The grant, which has a period of performance through November 30, 2027, is intended to support astrophysical research using the Magellanic Clouds as a new laboratory. The University of Arizona is a public research university and a 1862 land grant institution,...
