The grant funds research to study the 3D structure and dynamics of high-speed jets in the magnetosheath region and their role in dayside magnetospheric processes. The research aims to improve understanding of how these transient events interact with the magnetopause and drive turbulence, reconnection,...
- This federal contract award, ID 80NSSC20K0714, was granted to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to conduct research on the "EFFECT OF IMF BY ON THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE". The $519,210.47 grant for research is a civilian contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) on April 1, 2020, with a period of performance through March 31, 2024. There was no set-aside designation for this award. As the prime contractor, UCLA will leverage its...
- The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $160,056.00 grant to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to research the asymmetric nature of the Earth's magnetotail current sheet and its impact on magnetic reconnection. This research aims to better understand the physics behind the observed dawn-dusk preference in magnetotail phenomena. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UCLA will use spacecraft observations, data analysis, and 3D...
- This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration division. The $1,372,880.77 grant is for a study to gain a comprehensive understanding of the effects of global-local interactions on the heating and acceleration of ions and electrons observed at Earth's magnetopause and in the magnetotail. The research aims to determine the origin of...
- This $511,479.00 federal grant award to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center is intended to support research on the physics of thin current sheets in the mid-distant magnetotail. The goal is to understand the processes underlying the thinning of the magnetotail current sheet and the onset of instability, which are key elements of magnetotail dynamics. This research grant has no set-aside...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC23K0413, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), operating through its Office of Research Administration. The $522,224.00 grant is for a research project focused on wave-particle resonant interactions that affect energy and particle losses from the magnetosphere through precipitation, which impacts magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. This research aligns with NASA's...
This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC19K0540, was granted to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The $448,068.10 grant funds a comprehensive data analysis and modeling effort to understand variations in the thickness and plasma content of the Jovian magnetospheric current sheet. This research aims to infer how external and internal drivers influence plasma transport and redistribution in Jupiter's magnetosphere. The proposed study will analyze data from past NASA missions like Pioneer, Voyager, Ulysses, and Galileo to develop global maps of current sheet characteristics and their temporal variations. This work is expected to provide insights into local time asymmetries and plasma dynamics in Jupiter's magnetosphere, which could benefit studies of other rapidly rotating magnetospheres. The contract has no set-aside designation and will be performed at UCLA's facilities in Los Angeles, California. The State of California Controller's Office, as UCLA's parent organization, provides administrative oversight for this NASA research grant.
