About this award
This is a $499,712.05 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the origins and properties of solar wind structures and solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The research aims to improve our understanding of the 3D structure of the heliosphere and solar wind, building upon the goals of the NASA STEREO mission. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. UC Berkeley is the prime contractor, and the parent organization is the State of California Controller's Office, which will administer any resulting funding. The research is expected to enhance the contributions of the STEREO in-situ observations to high-profile heliophysics studies, including investigations into coronal mass ejections, ground-level enhancement events, and interplanetary fine structures.
Description
The supplemental science analyses proposed above asks important questions concerning the origins of solar wind structures that are of high interest and potential impact. Icme topologies tell US about both the origins of these heliospheric disturbances as well as improve the possibilities for forecasting geoeffective events. GLE events are attracting major interest with the increasing preparations for sending humans into deeper space. The IFE phenomenon can tell US more about the sources of the solar wind if they are created by entanglement of flux ropes originating from the sun or inner heliosphere, or they can improve our understanding of the heliosphere dust environment if they are created from solar wind-dust interactions. The proposed enhanced SEP heavy ION data set will improve the uses of stereo data toward understanding SEP sources. Overall, the studies described above build upon the original goals of stereo itself to understand the 3D structure of the heliosphere and solar wind- and enhance the contributions of the stereo in-situ observations to the latest high profile heliophysics research.
