The project aims to study the stability of active regions, the energy storage and eruption...
This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, for a research project studying the evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and associated solar flares. The primary objectives are to empirically characterize the conditions and processes within observed plasma sheets, including analyzing temperature, density, and velocity variations, as well as supra-arcade...
This federal contract award is a grant to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution. The $233,283.51 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) will support research on solar flares and magnetic reconnection using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and other NASA missions. The research aims to better understand the 3D magnetic topology and energy release processes in solar flares by studying the motions,...
This is a $528,136.00 grant awarded by NASA to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, to investigate the physical and dynamical properties of low-latitude coronal holes and adjacent quiet-sun regions on the Sun. The research aims to better understand the role of the solar wind in shaping interplanetary space and the mechanisms that drive the heating and acceleration of solar plasmas. The study will leverage data from current NASA missions such...
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 $1,959,917.00 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center division of NASA to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to gain a comprehensive understanding of the global energy budget and energy partitioning in solar eruptive events from the chromosphere to the inner heliosphere. As a leading provider of scientific research, instrumentation development, and data system services to federal agencies, the Smithsonian Institution through its SAO division frequently collaborates...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, for a project titled "Time-Distance Study of Emerging Active Regions Using HMI Observations". The grant's purpose is to investigate emerging active regions on the Sun and look for potential precursor indicators of their emergence, using data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Solar...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) to investigate and understand the lifecycle of the solar magnetic field. The grant, valued at $145,785.00, supports the use of data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument to model the propagation of solar eruptions and their effects on Earth and space-based assets. The grant aims to better...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $599,572.13 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the physical processes that lead to large-scale solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to understand how magnetic energy and helicity are transported from the solar convection zone to the corona, the mechanisms that trigger CMEs, the relationship...
