Trustees of Boston University has been awarded a $458,027 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to analyze Juno satellite data of waves, particles, and aurorae in Earth's radiation belts, supported by complementary measurements from the Galileo satellite. As the prime contractor, Boston University will primarily study wave-driven electron precipitation using Juno satellite observations of Jupiter's magnetosphere and a physics-based modeling...
This is a $395,969.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant's objective is to study temperature variations in Jupiter's upper atmosphere to determine the most likely source(s) of heating. The research will involve ground-based observational campaigns of Jupiter's ionosphere, with a focus on the regions surrounding the Great Red Spot, to uncover the temporal and...
This $242,854 federal grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Johns Hopkins University on July 8, 2019 under the Juno Participating Scientist Program. The grant supports research to characterize the influence of Jupiter's moon Io on the planet's magnetosphere. The research will correlate observations from the Hisaki satellite and the Juno spacecraft's plasma and energetic particle instruments to provide a more complete understanding of Jupiter's...
This $150,000.00 grant contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to study plasma wave and particle dynamics during interchange events in the Jovian magnetosphere using data from the Juno spacecraft. The contract, which has no set-aside designation, will run through August 31, 2026. As a leading research institution, Boston University has received numerous federal contracts and grants from...
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The goal of the proposed work is to quantify how magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling at Jupiter is affected by local time asymmetries in the magnetosphere and temporal variability related to the internal mass loading from Io and external forcing from the solar wind. The university will...
This is a $115,208.57 grant award from NASA to the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), a non-profit research organization in Tucson, Arizona. The grant will fund a study to better understand tidal heating, a key energy process on ocean worlds like Jupiter's moon Io. The study aims to determine if and how Io's high-latitude volcanoes differ from low-latitude ones, and how those differences inform our understanding of tidal heating. The work will involve analyzing data from the Jovian Infrared...
This is a $326,097 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University to develop new models of Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The goal is to address unresolved questions in this area of space science research. The grant was awarded on June 1, 2020 and has a completion date of May 31, 2025. Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, is the prime grantee on this research project. No set-aside designation is...
The Trustees of Boston University were awarded a $490,079 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate the relative roles of Coulomb collisions, localized enhanced convection electric fields, and plasma waves damping in transferring energy from the ring current to the ionosphere-thermosphere. The prime contractor will analyze particle and field data from NASA's Van Allen Probes and Time History of Events and Macroscale...
