About this award

This is a federal grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The $523,782.00 grant is for research on how "whistler waves" in the solar wind can regulate electron heat conduction, suppressing the electron heat flux below that predicted by the Spitzer-Harm collisional law. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating NJIT was able to compete for and win this open competition grant based on its technical expertise in solar physics and space weather research. NJIT frequently collaborates with other academic institutions, national laboratories, and industry partners on federally funded projects across STEM disciplines, including work for NASA, the Department of Energy, and the National Institutes of Health. This grant award aligns with NJIT's mission to advance scientific knowledge and provide research opportunities for students.

Description

Whistler waves are expected to regulate the electron heat conduction in the solar wind through scattering suprathermal electrons, suppressing thereby the electron heat flux below values predicted by the collisional spitzer-harm law. Similar regulatio
