This is a $330,224.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to study the heating and cooling of solar flare loops and estimate the total energy used to heat these loops in a large sample of solar flares. The research will analyze observations from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) missions. The goal is to quantify the energy input in solar flares...
Montana State University has been awarded a $384,312 grant by NASA to study transient solar flare downflows observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) satellite. The research will analyze IRIS high-cadence imagery and spectroscopy to understand the magnetic reconnection process underlying solar flares. Specifically, the project aims to characterize downflow velocities and decay times in flare ribbons, building on previous IRIS observations that resolved elementary loops on...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $524,743.00 grant is for a research project to perform a comprehensive study of the subsurface and surface flows associated with active regions and their evolution using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This is a $404,813.38 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) for a research project titled "USING CHROMOSPHERIC AND TRANSITION REGION SIGNATURES TO MEASURE PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC RECONNECTION AND ENERGY RELEASE IN SOLAR FLARES". The award is not a set-aside contract and is intended to fund scientific research and technical services related to the study of solar flares and magnetic reconnection. As a leading research...
This is a federal grant award to The Regents of the University of Colorado (University of Colorado) by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for research on the characteristics of white-light emission during solar flares. The $235,421.01 grant will fund the investigation of ultraviolet and optical emission from solar flares using data from NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) mission. The research aims to improve understanding of the role of nonthermal...
This is a $199,999 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) to develop an MSU student-built solar disk integrated soft X-ray sensor. The grant will fund the design, fabrication, and testing of this detector by MSU undergraduate students. As a top-tier research university and land-grant institution, MSU has a strong track record of securing federal contracts and grants for research, technical assistance, and education across...
This is a $120,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study chromospheric evaporation during solar flares. The project will analyze data from NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) mission, along with complementary observations from RHESSI, Fermi, and SDO/HMI, to better understand the connection between energy release mechanisms and the properties of chromospheric evaporation. The...
This is a $99,793.19 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant will fund two unique ground-based experiments during the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017 to further the understanding of coronal magnetism and thermal structure, and to test novel instrumentation. The first...
This is a $641,713.85 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the response of the lower solar atmosphere to energetic electrons during solar flares. The research will leverage high-resolution observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at the Big Bear Solar Observatory to investigate the unique spectral properties and physical conditions near...
This is a $524,336.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The grant supports focused data analysis to quantify the relationships between the nonthermal component of flare-accelerated electrons and the thermal response in "cold" solar flares, a subset of early impulsive flares with a relatively modest thermal response. The goal is to obtain new knowledge about the...
