About this award
The Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization based in Moffett Field, California, was awarded a $515,927 research grant by a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center on February 1, 2021. The grant supports a scientific investigation into coronal heating mechanisms in solar active region loops, with particular focus on how magnetic conditions at the photosphere influence heating processes in the corona. The research methodology involves observing at least 150 loops from 15 bipolar non-flaring active regions with opposite-polarity sunspots over 24-hour observation periods each, utilizing Atmospheric Imaging Assembly extreme ultraviolet images and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager magnetogram data for analysis.
The grant extends through January 31, 2025, and is classified as a research grant with no set-aside designation, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized capabilities in solar physics research. The institute's work will be performed at Moffett Federal Airfield in Mountain View, California. BAER Institute brings substantial expertise to this effort, having established itself as a leading provider of advanced solar physics research to federal agencies including NASA and the National Science Foundation, with prior funded investigations into related solar phenomena including magnetic reconnection and solar dynamics. The research contributes to broader federal objectives in understanding solar processes critical to space weather prediction and heliophysics science.
Description
To meet the science objectives, we will follow at least 150 loops from 15 bipolar non-flaring ARS, having opposite-polarity sunspots, for 24 h each, and use the methods of [5] to inspect AIA EUV images and HMI magnetograms.
