- This federal contract award with ID 80NSSC25K7390 was granted to the University of Delaware, a private research university, by the Shared Services Center, a civilian federal agency. The $510,000.00 grant is for research to support the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, through the study of plasma turbulence, reconnection, energization, and heating, using observational data analysis and numerical simulations. The work aims to further the fundamental physics understanding related to the...
- 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...
- The University of Delaware received a $529,097 research grant from a civilian federal agency (operating through a Shared Services Center) to support three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic modeling of obliquely rotating massive-star magnetospheres. This research builds on advances in modern spectro-polarimetry that have identified organized magnetic fields in O, B, and A-type stars, with surface strengths ranging from several hundred to tens of thousands of gauss. The award was made on February 8,...
- This is a $227,978.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Delaware to conduct research on ion heating during magnetic reconnection, a fundamental plasma process that converts stored magnetic energy into kinetic energy and plasma heating. The research will combine particle-in-cell simulations and in-situ spacecraft observations to systematically study ion bulk heating in both symmetric and asymmetric reconnection. This study supports...
- This is a $524,850 grant awarded by NASA's Shared Services Center to the University of Delaware for a research project titled "Heating, Acceleration, and Diffusion in the Outer Heliosphere: Self-Consistent Solar Wind Modeling with Turbulence." The project will run from August 4, 2022 through August 3, 2026. The University of Delaware is a private research university and 1862 land-grant institution that has extensive experience providing scientific research, educational, and technical...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Delaware to conduct research related to the relationship between cascade rates, reconnection rates, and heating rates in turbulent plasma found in the heliosphere. The two-year $736,785.50 award will focus on using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations and spacecraft observations from missions like WIND, THEMIS/ARTEMIS, Cluster, and MMS to address two key research questions: (1) how the...
- 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 federal contract award is a $951,972.00 grant for research awarded by the Shared Services Center (a civilian agency) to the University of Delaware on June 1, 2022. The award, titled "The Influence of Structure and Turbulence on Coronal and Heliospheric Dynamics - Improved Magnetohydrodynamic Modeling with Data-Driven Subgrid-Scale Effects," focuses on using a novel approach to estimate magnetic turbulence levels at the solar photosphere and incorporate this data into...
- This is a $92,728.98 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Colorado for a research project analyzing data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to conduct a detailed analysis of MMS observations in the solar wind, focusing on the extended mission phase and turbulence campaign. The research will be a collaboration between the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado and the Goddard Space Flight Center MMS team, with...
