About this award
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $453,052 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on the microphysics of supercritical collisionless shocks in astrophysical environments. The research aims to probe the electromagnetic and electrostatic processes that occur at the Earth's bow shock, which serves as a natural laboratory for studying these phenomena. The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will be administered by the State of California Controller's Office as the parent organization of UC Berkeley. This research aligns with NASA's broader mission to advance the understanding of space physics and astrophysical processes.
Description
The earth s BOW shock is a natural laboratory to probe the microphysics of supercritical collisionless shocks typical of planetary magnetospheres, heliosphere and various astrophysical environments including, for example, galaxy clusters and supernovae remnants. The critical problem in the physics of collisionless shocks concerns the origin and effects on particles of electromagnetic and electrostatic
