About this award
This is a $280,067.00 grant for research awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc., a non-profit organization supporting Georgia State University. The purpose of the grant is to use a modified spheromak model to simulate coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the corona and inner heliosphere, and to study how variations in solar wind pressure impact the expansion of the CME flux rope. This work aims to help assess whether the simulations can reproduce observations of anomalous CME expansion during Solar Cycle 24. The grant does not have a set-aside designation, indicating it was competitively awarded. The Georgia State University Research Foundation Inc. has extensive experience in executing federal contracts and grants across various research domains, including prior awards from agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of the Air Force.
Description
In our proposed work, we will use a modified spheromak model to simulate cmes in the corona and inner heliosphere. We will create hypothetical but realistic solar wind backgrounds of different total pressure and study the evolution of the same simulated CME through them. This work will help US assess how variations in solar wind pressure impact the expansion of the CME flux rope and whether our simulations can reproduce observations of anomalous CME expansion in solar cycle 24.
