This is a $486,855 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The purpose of the grant is to test several models that predict the location of magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause, the boundary between the Earth's magnetic field and the solar wind. The work will involve comparing the model predictions against in-situ data to gain insight into the global processes...
The Trustees of Boston University were awarded a $490,079 research grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to investigate the relative roles of Coulomb collisions, localized enhanced convection electric fields, and plasma waves damping in transferring energy from the ring current to the ionosphere-thermosphere. The prime contractor will analyze particle and field data from NASA's Van Allen Probes and Time History of Events and Macroscale...
This is a $127,556.30 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university located in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for a research project titled "QUANTIFYING GLOBAL MASS AND ENERGY TRANSFER RATES FROM SOLAR WIND TO MAGNETOSPHERE BY MAGNETOPAUSE RECONNECTION". The contract has an ultimate completion date of March 10, 2025 and is not designated as a set-aside. As a prime contractor, Boston University has...
This is a $457,822 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant supports a study to examine the origin and evolution of energetic particle populations in the magnetosphere-ionosphere system, with a focus on rapid space-time scales associated with geomagnetic substorms. The research will utilize coordinated analysis of in-situ measurements from spacecraft like THEMIS,...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $476,256 grant to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, to conduct research on nonequilibrium plasmas with a cold thermal ion population and a hot suprathermal population. This research focuses on how magnetosonic waves propagate and form shocks in such plasmas, which are ubiquitous in astrophysical and space systems. The research builds on the university's previous work developing a...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $278,085.00 grant to the Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on understanding the role of kinetic ballooning instability in triggering substorm onset. The research aims to reveal fundamental physical processes of substorm onset, which is critical for magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and magnetotail plasma physics. The principal investigator, Dr. Yukitoshi Nishimura, relocated from the...
This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, is for a grant to conduct research on plasma and magnetic field conditions that influence the growth of whistler-mode waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The proposed work aims to address three specific science questions related to the effects of cold plasma, plasma/magnetic field modulations, and solar wind/geomagnetic conditions on whistler-mode wave growth. This $518,744 grant is...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling and the properties of the magnetopause boundary. The $145,000 grant will fund a program to study the position, shape, and motion of the Earth's magnetopause and how it is impacted by solar wind and internal drivers. The research aims to provide a greater understanding of solar...
This is a $130,772.63 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university, to conduct research on the nonlinear effects of chorus waves on Earth's radiation belt electron acceleration and precipitation. The research project combines theory, modeling, and data analysis to evaluate these effects, which aligns with NASA's Heliophysics Research Program. The grant has an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2023. Boston...
This is a $135,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The primary goal of the project is to use machine learning, data analysis, and simulations to quantify the role of hiss waves in the plasmasphere and plumes in global energetic electron loss. This grant is not set aside for any specific business type. As a prime contractor, Boston University has a history of receiving...
