- This is a $330,921.99 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to advance the understanding of energy transfer and coupling processes between plasma and magnetic fields in the solar wind near Earth. The grant supports research objectives including determining the polytropic indices of the solar wind plasma, identifying relationships between magnetic field strength and plasma parameters, and distinguishing these...
This $492,084.24 grant contract was awarded by the Shared Services Center (agency ID 8000|8000|80NSSC-A) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on March 16, 2018. The grant is for research to determine the nature of the solar dynamo and whether it consists of one fundamentally complex mechanism or two separate mechanisms. The research will leverage SDO/HMI line-of-sight magnetograms to analyze magnetic features and their evolution across the solar cycle. This work is relevant to the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission questions and the National Research Council's decadal survey goal of understanding the origins of the Sun's activity. SwRI, a nonprofit research and development organization, has a strong track record of securing federal contracts and grants across defense and civilian agencies, including NASA, the Department of Defense, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
