This is a $179,420 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research and development organization, for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF PREFERENTIAL ION ENHANCEMENT IN SOLAR FLARES". The grant is part of NASA's Science Mission Directorate and Exploration Systems Development Mission Directorate programs, supporting research on solar system origins, planetary evolution, and space...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct research on particle energization in solar flares. The $459,998.43 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund a project that combines observations from various NASA missions, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization, valued at $149,713.65. The grant is for a research program to better understand the initiation, development, and evolution of transient coronal dimming regions and their relationship to coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The program will use data from various solar observation satellites and instruments, including the Solar Dynamics...
This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a focused program of fundamental research on solar flare dynamics. The research aims to obtain quantitative information on the evolution of solar flare parameters like magnetic field and fast electron distribution over time scales down to 1 second, in order to infer the basic processes occurring in solar flares. The research leverages data from...
This is a $330,224.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to study the heating and cooling of solar flare loops and estimate the total energy used to heat these loops in a large sample of solar flares. The research will analyze observations from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) missions. The goal is to quantify the energy input in solar flares...
This is a $550,001.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a research project titled "EO14042 EARLY ESTIMATION OF FLUX EMERGENCE AND ACTIVE REGION PROPERTIES RELEVANT FOR SPACE WEATHER FORECAST USING SOHO+SDO OBSERVATIONS: A MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH". The project will utilize data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory...
This is a $379,768.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a nonprofit research organization based in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a project titled "UNDERSTANDING THE ORIGIN OF 3HE-RICH SOLAR ENERGETIC PARTICLES USING IN-SITU AND REMOTE IMAGING OBSERVATIONS". The award is not set aside and will run through March 8, 2026. SwRI has a strong track record of securing federal contracts and grants,...
This is a $524,336.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The grant supports focused data analysis to quantify the relationships between the nonthermal component of flare-accelerated electrons and the thermal response in "cold" solar flares, a subset of early impulsive flares with a relatively modest thermal response. The goal is to obtain new knowledge about the...
This is a $398,679.58 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) for solar energetic particle (SEP) forecasting research. The goal is to develop the capability to forecast SEP occurrence, onset time, peak intensities, and heavy ion properties using data-intensive studies and artificial intelligence approaches. The research will analyze relationships between solar photospheric features, eruptions, and flares, and associated...
This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization. The $353,295.16 grant is for research to understand whether the "nanoflare hypothesis" can explain coronal heating, by analyzing new high-quality data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and using modeling to identify and correct for systematic effects. The research aims...
