- This is a $210,789.75 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Iowa, a top public research university, to conduct a coordinated research effort to understand how energy is transferred from turbulent plasma flows to plasma particles in heliophysics applications. The research will utilize analytical theory, numerical simulations, and analysis of data from NASA's ARTEMIS, Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS), and MAVEN spacecraft to develop the...
- This federal contract award to The University of Iowa supports research to understand how energy is converted and distributed in high-temperature, low-density turbulent plasmas found in space environments. The $493,723 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to apply a novel field-particle correlation technique to data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The goal is to diagnose the mechanisms responsible for the removal of energy from turbulent...
- This is a $521,578.39 grant contract awarded by NASA to the Regents of the University of Michigan (University of Michigan) to conduct research on the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The MMS mission aims to study magnetic reconnection - the process by which solar and terrestrial magnetic fields connect and disconnect, releasing energy that powers space weather. The research will analyze data from the MMS spacecraft to investigate the physical properties and evolution of magnetic flux...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $109,650.59 grant for research to the University of Colorado, Office of Contracts and Grants Division. This grant supports a study of strong turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath using data from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The research aims to analyze kinetic-scale turbulence, dissipative processes, and resulting particle heating and acceleration. The University will use MMS magnetometer and plasma...
- This is a $349,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research on the physics of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in space and astrophysical plasmas. Specifically, the research aims to investigate the onset and dynamic consequences of magnetic reconnection activity, including the properties of bursty bulk flows and dipolarization...
- This is a $447,218.89 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) for research related to the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. The objective is to advance the understanding of electron acceleration at collisionless shocks using MMS data. The proposed project will analyze measurements from MMS to address specific questions about where in the shock transition layer electrons are energized and how upstream...
