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 is a $143,551.05 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute, a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of the project is to develop an adaptive hybrid computational model that combines kinetic ion and fluid electron descriptions to enable more detailed simulations of turbulent solar wind conditions and their impacts on the Earth's magnetosphere. The model will be integrated with global...
This is a $959,896.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Boulder for a research project on stellar magnetism and dynamo action. The work will involve numerical and theoretical studies to understand the fundamental physics that drive stellar dynamos in Sun-like stars. This research aligns with NASA's Living With a Star science focus area and will support the agency's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission by providing...
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...
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...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $523,109.00 grant to the University of Delaware to conduct research on turbulence in the solar wind and its impact on solar energetic particles (SEPs) and galactic cosmic rays (GCRs). The research aims to create a comprehensive knowledge base on the intermittency of turbulence in the heliosphere, which can be used to improve models of SEP and GCR propagation and diffusion. The study will leverage data from NASA's Voyager, ACE,...
This is a $447,928.44 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of Delaware to employ advanced global multi-temperature magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulation to study fundamental problems of heating and acceleration of the solar corona and solar wind plasma. The research aims to understand how turbulence affects the properties of the solar wind, while also providing data to support upcoming Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter missions. The three-year project will refine the MHD model to...
This $376,692 grant award from the Shared Services Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was made to the Regents of the University of Colorado, a prominent public research university, for a project on electromagnetic turbulence in space plasmas. The award is for fundamental research into two types of turbulence - kinetic Alfvén and whistler turbulence - that can occur on scales smaller than the proton gyroradius. The grant does not have a set-aside designation,...
The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants Division, was awarded a $874,108.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to conduct data-driven simulations of two flaring active regions on the Sun. This research will use the Radiative MHD, Magnetic Flux Eruption, and Coronal Global Evolutionary Model codes to model the processes underlying solar flares and coronal mass ejections. The goal is to gain a better...
The U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $149,976.00 grant to the University of Colorado, an accredited public research university, to further develop and validate a solar wind visualization tool that can enhance space weather forecasting capabilities. The tool, which has reached Technology Readiness Level 4, will undergo additional testing and integration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center and the UK Met...
