About this award
This federal research grant was awarded on March 1, 2020, to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) through its Office of Research Administration for $181,067.66, with a completion date of February 28, 2025. The grant supports research on electromagnetic cyclotron waves (ECWs) observed in the solar wind between 0.3 and 1 astronomical unit from the sun. The research examines how these left-hand or right-hand polarized waves propagate along background magnetic field lines and investigates their resonant interactions with solar wind ions, particularly near the proton cyclotron frequency. This investigation is significant for understanding non-equilibrium conditions in the solar wind, including particle temperature anisotropy and relative drifts among ion components such as proton cores, proton beams, and alpha particles. The work will be performed at UCLA's Los Angeles campus and carries no set-aside designation.
As a civilian agency research grant, this award reflects UCLA's established role as a premier federal research partner. UCLA's Office of Research Administration manages extensive research portfolios across multiple federal agencies, including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Defense entities. This grant contributes to UCLA's broader heliophysics and space science research capabilities, enabling the institution to advance fundamental understanding of solar wind dynamics and plasma physics—knowledge critical for space weather prediction and satellite operations.
Description
Electromagnetic cyclotron waves (ecws) are extensively observed in the solar wind from 0.3 to 1 AU. They appear to be left-hand or right-hand polarized in the spacecraft frame, and propagate in directions close to the background magnetic field. On
