- This is a $441,745.18 research grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to investigate magnetic reconnection processes in the solar corona and their signatures in the solar wind. The grant covers a 4-year period ending in May 2019. The research aims to characterize the properties and dynamics of 3D magnetic islands, streamer blobs, and other reconnection-generated structures in the solar atmosphere and heliosphere. The findings are intended to improve understanding of...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $450,946.15 grant to Montana State University for a research project studying the initiation and acceleration of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona. The observational study will analyze data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO) to establish a quantitative relationship between CME energetics and magnetic reconnection. The research aims to improve...
- This is a $404,813.38 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) for a research project titled "USING CHROMOSPHERIC AND TRANSITION REGION SIGNATURES TO MEASURE PROPERTIES OF MAGNETIC RECONNECTION AND ENERGY RELEASE IN SOLAR FLARES". The award is not a set-aside contract and is intended to fund scientific research and technical services related to the study of solar flares and magnetic reconnection. As a leading research...
- This is a $76,909 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder to study magnetic reconnection in the solar corona and Earth's magnetosphere. The grant was issued in response to NASA's Heliophysics Guest Investigators solicitation. The research aims to connect remote observations of the solar corona with in-situ measurements of the magnetosphere to improve understanding of the origin of solar activity and its impact on Earth's...
- This is a $349,997 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization in Boulder, Colorado. The grant supports research on the physics of magnetic reconnection and particle acceleration in space and astrophysical plasmas. Specifically, the research aims to investigate the onset and dynamic consequences of magnetic reconnection activity, including the properties of bursty bulk flows and dipolarization...
- 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 $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...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $222,370 grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), to conduct research on magnetic reconnection in the magnetosheath region. This research aims to better understand the microphysics of this universal plasma process, which converts stored magnetic energy into particle energies. The grant will leverage existing Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)...
- This is a $213,668.74 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States.
