- This is a $326,097 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University to develop new models of Jupiter's upper atmosphere. The goal is to address unresolved questions in this area of space science research. The grant was awarded on June 1, 2020 and has a completion date of May 31, 2025. Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts, is the prime grantee on this research project. No set-aside designation is...
- This federal contract award, identified as 80NSSC19K1263, was granted by the Shared Services Center (part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The goal of the proposed work is to establish the role of magnetotail reconnection in the overall transport of mass and magnetic flux in Jupiter's magnetosphere and to determine the drivers of magnetotail dynamics at Jupiter. This $104,956.00...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC20K0559, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The objective of the contract is to establish the amount of temporal variability observed in Jupiter's middle and outer magnetosphere during the Juno spacecraft's first 16 orbits of Jupiter. The contract is a grant for research, with a ceiling value of $315,911.00 and a period of...
- This is a $20,296.29 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on the "Structure and Dynamics of Jupiter's Duskside Magnetosphere." The grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, runs from October 1, 2022, to July 11, 2024. As a leading research institution, Boston University has a robust history of receiving federal research grants and...
- Trustees of Boston University has been awarded a $458,027 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to analyze Juno satellite data of waves, particles, and aurorae in Earth's radiation belts, supported by complementary measurements from the Galileo satellite. As the prime contractor, Boston University will primarily study wave-driven electron precipitation using Juno satellite observations of Jupiter's magnetosphere and a physics-based modeling...
- This is a $395,969.00 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant's objective is to study temperature variations in Jupiter's upper atmosphere to determine the most likely source(s) of heating. The research will involve ground-based observational campaigns of Jupiter's ionosphere, with a focus on the regions surrounding the Great Red Spot, to uncover the temporal and...
This federal contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The goal of the proposed work is to quantify how magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling at Jupiter is affected by local time asymmetries in the magnetosphere and temporal variability related to the internal mass loading from Io and external forcing from the solar wind. The university will combine data analysis from the Galileo spacecraft and the Hubble Space Telescope with computational models to improve understanding of spatial and temporal variability in the brightness and location of Jupiter's main emission, which has implications for magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling in other rotation-dominated planetary systems. This $365,506.00 grant for research does not have a set-aside designation and has a completion date of October 31, 2023.
