This is a $179,308.14 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the origins and evolution of solar wind turbulence and non-thermal electrons in the solar wind. The research will focus on how plasma beta affects the properties of the electron halo and kinetic turbulence, as well as the evolution of the electron velocity distribution function and kinetic-scale turbulence in the solar wind. The...
This is a $263,067 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park to conduct research into the response of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere system during extreme geomagnetic storms. The project will utilize NASA's 3D multifluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) code coupled with other modeling tools to simulate the behavior of the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system, with a focus on understanding the fast recovery rate...
This is a three-year grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) for a study on particle energization processes in Mercury's magnetosphere. The $440,642.92 award will fund research to create a comprehensive list of upstream solar wind parameters, conduct surveys of plasma sheet crossings, identify high solar wind speeds, and perform wave surveys. The goal is to provide key results on fundamental particle energization...
This is a federal grant award to The Trustees of Princeton University, acting through its Office of Research and Project Administration, for a research project focused on understanding the turbulent nature of the solar wind and its impact on plasma physics. The $427,593.66 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to accomplish several science goals, including determining the mechanisms responsible for perpendicular heating of solar wind ions, examining...
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 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). The $134,828.80 grant aims to conduct complementary numerical studies of turbulence within the heliosphere, the region of space influenced by the Sun, to better understand the dissipative processes that may contribute to the heating of the solar corona and solar wind. This research supports NASA's Heliophysics Division's goal of...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $523,109.00 grant to the University of Delaware to conduct research on turbulence in the solar wind and its impact on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The research aims to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the intermittency of turbulence in the heliosphere, which can be used to improve models of SEP and GCR propagation and diffusion. The study will leverage data from NASA's Voyager, ACE,...
This is a $141,749.84 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to develop a state-of-the-art model for forecasting the dynamics of the Earth's radiation belt and energetic plasma environment. The project aims to improve the ability to model and predict the ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave power and resulting radial diffusion coefficients, which are key processes controlling the acceleration, transport, and loss of...
This is a $901,205 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, for a project focused on understanding the solar wind and its impact on space weather. The grant will fund research into fundamental questions about the origin and acceleration of the solar wind, its connection to smaller-scale solar phenomena, and the partitioning of the wind into fast and slow streams. The work will involve...
This is a $348,562 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the scaling and structure of the solar wind electron distribution. The project aims to analyze solar wind data to uncover the scaling relations of the "strahl", a narrow anisotropic population of suprathermal electrons that plays a significant role in the global energy balance and potential instabilities in the solar wind plasma. The research will...
