This is a $199,009.67 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to create a dataset of solar flare ribbon positions and fluxes observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instruments. The goal is to compile a larger sample of flare-ribbon events to improve understanding of solar flares and eruptions. The grant is not set aside for small or disadvantaged businesses. As the parent organization, the State of...
This $79,764 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center to the University of California, Berkeley, will fund research to search for X-ray bremsstrahlung signatures produced by non-thermal electrons within solar flares in the solar corona. Such electrons are accelerated during the release of coronal magnetic energy. The work will be performed in Albany, California through December 2024 without a set-aside designation. As the nation's space agency, NASA...
This is a $385,622.42 grant awarded by NASA to the University of California, Berkeley to conduct research on solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to model the development and evolution of coronal magnetic structure using the RADMHD code, with the model photospheric magnetic field vectors matching the observed data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. The research will compare the simulated emission from the model to observational data from NASA missions such as...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $770,386 grant to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research related to space physics. As the prime contractor, UC Berkeley will provide data analysis and research services under the grant through December 2024, building upon its work on NASA's RHESSI mission to study solar flares. No set-aside was specified. The State of California Controllers Office will administer any funding to...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $133,316.95 training grant to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant will fund research to obtain new measurements of the Sun's magnetic field interior to the Earth's orbit, using the time delay of arrival method to trace the trajectories of type III solar radio bursts. The objectives are to evaluate the accuracy of this method, automate the...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was granted to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on the physical processes driving various forms of stellar activity, including stellar flares, winds, and coronal mass ejections. The $82,076.75 award, classified as a grant for research, has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2021. The contract was not set aside for any specific business designation. As a...
This $736,800 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant is for a research project titled "MAGNETIC FLUX EMERGENCE AND COUPLING OF SCALES IN ERUPTIVE CONFIGURATIONS FROM THE UPPER CONVECTION ZONE TO THE SOLAR CORONA". This is a fundamental research study that aims to improve understanding of solar physics and solar...
This federal contract award, valued at $446,221.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization based in California. The contract is focused on probing the physics of flare-associated quasi-periodic fast-mode propagating wave trains (QFPS), a new observational phenomenon discovered by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission. The research aims to provide...
This is a $861,330.72 grant from NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to conduct research on solar eruptive events. The goal is to use data-driven numerical magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations to understand how energized active regions on the Sun trigger coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and other severe space weather disturbances. The research aims to determine the roles of photospheric boundary flows, adjacent magnetic fields, flux...
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...
