About this award

This is a $541,826 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD) to conduct research on understanding the physical mechanisms responsible for the explosive release of energy in solar flares. The research aims to advance the understanding of energy transport by electron beams during solar flares and develop a unified large-scale model of the beam propagation that accounts for mechanisms such as return currents and turbulence. The project will involve modeling the transport of nonthermal electrons and the thermal response using radiation hydrodynamic codes, and comparing the predicted x-ray emission against archived observations. This research is not associated with a set-aside contract and is being conducted as part of UMD's broader federal research portfolio, which includes contracts and grants from agencies like the Department of Defense, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the National Science Foundation.
