- This is a $607,947 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project focused on understanding the mechanisms that transfer energy between electromagnetic fields and charged particles in the solar wind. The project aims to identify and characterize the specific plasma and solar wind conditions under which different energy transfer mechanisms dominate, in order to improve global models of the heliosphere. The research will...
- This is a $530,331.01 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, to investigate the spatial distribution of energetic particles across interplanetary shocks. The research aims to study the local intensity enhancements, or "spikes", of supra-thermal particles at the shock front, which are not well-explained by current theoretical models. The project will analyze high-resolution...
- This is a $376,518.03 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Arizona for research on the acceleration of charged particles, primarily protons, from thermal to suprathermal energies by interplanetary shocks. The University will analyze data from NASA spacecraft like ACE, WIND, STEREO, and GEOTAIL, combined with numerical modeling and analytic theory, to identify the acceleration mechanism involved. This research is closely related to the scientific goals of the proposed IMAP (Interstellar...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $150,788.06 grant to the University of Arizona (doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents) to conduct research on interplanetary shocks, magnetic clouds, and interplanetary coronal mass ejections. The objective is to generate a comprehensive database of electron velocity distribution function parameters using data from the Wind spacecraft's Quasi-Thermal Noise instrument. This research aims to improve the characterization of...
- This is a $87,676 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) to advance the understanding of particle energization and transport processes throughout the heliosphere. The research aims to study energetic particle dynamics from the Earth's magnetosphere to the outer boundaries of the heliosphere, with applications to astrophysical processes beyond our solar system. UAH, a public research university, will utilize its...
- This federal contract award was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents. The $754,501 grant will fund research to investigate the role of galactic cosmic ray transport in the magnetic turbulence and switchbacks of the solar wind, as observed by NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope and Parker Solar Probe missions. The research aims to better understand the physical processes in the space...
- The University of Arizona, operating as the Arizona Board of Regents, was awarded a $792.6K research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate solar energetic particles (SEPs) and their role in space weather forecasting and modeling. This research supports NASA's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission by analyzing data from the Parker Solar Probe, Advanced Composition Explorer, Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, and Mars Atmosphere...
- This is a $443,850 grant award to the University of Arizona, doing business as the Arizona Board of Regents, from a civilian federal agency for research related to the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission. The research will analyze the behavior and transport of supra-thermal and energetic particles within magnetic switchbacks detected by the PSP spacecraft as it travels through the upper solar corona, with the goal of understanding the mechanisms that accelerate and transport these particles. The...
- This is a $477,792.39 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago for a research project on the acceleration of cosmic rays at astrophysical shocks. The project aims to conduct multi-species particle-in-cell simulations to investigate the thermalization, injection, and acceleration of different particle species, including electrons, protons, and heavier ions, in order to understand the observed peculiar trends in the chemical composition...
- This is a $342,348.34 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Arizona for a research project titled "Active Asteroids are Interesting Because They Represent a New Population of Objects Where Surface Activity is Derived from a Range of Exogenic Factors Such as Hypervelocity Impacts, Rotational Instability Driven by YORP Effect." The grant is a civilian award with a performance period from February 14, 2020 to February 13, 2024....
