This $1,435,079 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning. The award is for research to study how magnetic reconnection processes in the solar wind cause current sheets to break up and release magnetic field energy. The work will expand scientific knowledge in space physics and contribute to NASA's heliophysics...
This is a $385,825.32 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado. The objective is to improve understanding of in-situ generation of multiple X-lines at the Earth's dayside magnetopause, which is a topic of great importance for understanding the coupling between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres. The research will utilize data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS)...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder) for a three-year research project focused on improving the physical understanding of the origin of the turbulent solar wind. The project involves simulating time-dependent magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in solar wind flux tubes, using an existing Monte Carlo model to simulate wave injection via magnetic reconnection, and synthesizing observational...
This $98,588.98 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to conduct research on magnetic reconnection processes in the Earth's magnetotail. The University of Colorado, an accredited public research institution, will use this funding to study the rapid transport of magnetic flux and plasma towards and away from the Earth, as observed by satellite...
This $134,813.42 research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to study the origin of the sun's magnetism. The research is focused on observing highly regular patterns of magnetic activity on the solar disk, which is one of the most pressing outstanding problems in astrophysics. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2019 and is scheduled for completion on...
This is a $76,909 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder to study magnetic reconnection in the solar corona and Earth's magnetosphere. The grant was issued in response to NASA's Heliophysics Guest Investigators solicitation. The research aims to connect remote observations of the solar corona with in-situ measurements of the magnetosphere to improve understanding of the origin of solar activity and its impact on Earth's...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, doing business as the University of Colorado Office of Contracts and Grants Division, has been awarded a $600,000.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct research on the origins of sunspots and the Sun's magnetic activity cycles. The grant supports the University's efforts to leverage recent advances in 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to better understand the Sun's complex magnetic dynamo processes and...
This is a $441,745.18 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona and their signatures in the solar wind. The grant covers a 4-year period ending in May 2019. The research aims to characterize the properties and dynamics of 3D magnetic islands, streamer blobs, and other reconnection-generated structures in the solar atmosphere and heliosphere. The findings are intended to improve understanding of...
This is a $735,456.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a public research university. The grant will fund a project titled "High-Time-Resolution Observation from MMS Guided by Simulations of Reconnecting Plasmas Reveal that Both Electron and Ion" over a period ending on August 31, 2025. This award is not associated with a set-aside designation and is structured as a grant for research. The University of...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $874,108.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct data-driven simulations of two flaring active regions on the Sun. This research will use the Radiative MHD, Magnetic Flux Eruption, and Coronal Global Evolutionary Model codes to model the processes underlying solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The goal is to gain a better...
