- This is a $348,562 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to study the scaling and structure of the solar wind electron distribution. The project aims to analyze solar wind data to uncover the scaling relations of the "strahl", a narrow anisotropic population of suprathermal electrons that plays a significant role in the global energy balance and potential instabilities in the solar wind plasma. The research will...
- This is a federal grant award to The Trustees of Princeton University, acting through its Office of Research and Project Administration, for a research project focused on understanding the turbulent nature of the solar wind and its impact on plasma physics. The $427,593.66 grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to accomplish several science goals, including determining the mechanisms responsible for perpendicular heating of solar wind ions, examining...
- This is a $212,574 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, for research on the geometry of the fluctuating component of the interplanetary magnetic field. The research aims to improve understanding of solar wind dynamics and energetic particle transport in space. The grant is not associated with a set-aside program and does not reference any parent vehicles or task orders....
- This is a $612,874.41 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, for research on whether magnetic reconnection occurs via single or multiple X-lines in the solar wind. The research aims to understand solar wind structure and energy budget by analyzing magnetic field signatures across solar wind exhausts. The grant supports solar wind observations, multi-spacecraft...
- This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) supports research into the dynamics of the solar wind, specifically investigating how the kinetic coupling of electrons and ions affects the large-scale behavior of the radially expanding solar wind. The research aims to address the "solar wind isotropy problem" - an observed phenomenon where the temperatures of solar wind electrons and protons become nearly isotropic, which has not been fully explained...
- The University of Wisconsin System, through its University of Wisconsin-Madison division, was awarded a $608,960 research grant by a civilian federal agency on February 2, 2021, for fundamental research on three-dimensional collisionless magnetic reconnection conducted in laboratory settings. This non-set-aside grant supports scientific exploration of how magnetic field lines change topology in collisionless plasmas and how magnetic energy converts into high-speed flows and thermal...
- This is a $901,205 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research and analysis firm, for a project focused on understanding the solar wind and its impact on space weather. The grant will fund research into fundamental questions about the origin and acceleration of the solar wind, its connection to smaller-scale solar phenomena, and the partitioning of the wind into fast and slow streams. The work will involve...
- 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 $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.
