- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), also known as the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant, valued at $846,133.00, is for UCAR/NCAR to perform magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the solar corona. The goal is to understand the build-up and eruption of CMEs, and how their properties like acceleration, speed, and direction can be...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $599,572.13 grant to the Regents of the University of Michigan, Office of Research and Sponsored Projects, to conduct research on the physical processes that lead to large-scale solar eruptions, including flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The research aims to understand how magnetic energy and helicity are transported from the solar convection zone to the corona, the mechanisms that trigger CMEs, the relationship...
- 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...
- 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 $840,203.81 grant to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) to develop a new method for incorporating solar and heliophysics data into models to describe and interpret the propagation and evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) in the solar wind. The objectives are to couple solar-heliospheric models, compare model predictions to observations, understand the physical processes driving ICME...
- This is a $98,656.00 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit organization that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The grant is for a project to measure the infrared spectrum of the solar corona during the 2017 eclipse using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The project aims to identify spectral lines suitable for measuring the coronal...
- This is a $436,834.68 federal grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), a non-profit consortium of over 115 universities that manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). The purpose of the grant is to constrain the lower limits of solar irradiance and create a grand minimum scenario based on a well-characterized photospheric magnetic field distribution using a small-scale dynamo...
- 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...
