The research aims to produce self-consistent models of pulsar plasma supply and magnetospheric...
- This is a three-year, $463,046.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the impact of solar wind structures on the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to improve understanding of magnetic reconnection processes at the dayside magnetopause and will leverage global magnetohydrodynamic and large-scale kinetic simulations, along with spacecraft observations from missions like Cluster,...
- This is a $143,551.05 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to develop an adaptive hybrid computational model that combines kinetic ion and fluid electron descriptions to enable more detailed simulations of turbulent solar wind conditions and their impacts on the Earth's magnetosphere. The model will be integrated with global...
This is a $408,234.36 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Princeton University's Office of Research and Project Administration division, a private university. The grant is for research related to space weather modeling and simulation, with a focus on integrating extended magnetohydrodynamics and kinetic effects into global models of planetary magnetospheres. The research aims to improve the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of space weather predictions by advancing the fundamental understanding of plasma processes and developing computational tools validated against experimental data, particularly from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission observing the Earth's magnetosphere. No set-aside designation was indicated. This grant appears to be a standalone award, not associated with a larger contract vehicle.
