About this award
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has been awarded a $792,376 research grant by a civilian federal agency through a competitive process without set-aside designation. The award, effective January 1, 2024, with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, supports a comprehensive scientific study examining small-scale ejections (SSEs) from the solar photosphere to the corona. The research leverages high-resolution observations from NASA heliophysics missions (SDO, IRIS, SOLO) combined with ground-based data from the Big Bear Solar Observatory's Goode Solar Telescope and advanced magnetohydrodynamic simulations using the BIFROST model to systematically investigate the temperature evolution, magnetic field dynamics, plasma motion, and role of magnetic reconnection in these solar phenomena.
The project directly addresses priorities identified in the Heliophysics Decadal Survey by determining the origins of solar activity and predicting variations in the space environment. Through integrated statistical and case study analyses, the research will quantify the helicity, mass, and energy injected into the corona by small-scale ejections, establishing relationships between source region properties and ejections at different scales. This observation-based modeling approach bridges traditional gaps between photospheric and coronal observations and is designed to provide insights that will inform the development of future NASA missions focused on the Sun and inner heliosphere. The work will be performed at NJIT's Newark, New Jersey location.
