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 $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...
Montana State University has been awarded a $384,312 grant by NASA to study transient solar flare downflows observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) satellite. The research will analyze IRIS high-cadence imagery and spectroscopy to understand the magnetic reconnection process underlying solar flares. Specifically, the project aims to characterize downflow velocities and decay times in flare ribbons, building on previous IRIS observations that resolved elementary loops on...
This is a cooperative agreement awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University for the "EPSCOR ISS SOLAR FLARE ACCELERATION INVESTIGATION THROUGH X-RAYS (EISSFLAIX)" project. The contract has a ceiling value of $99,999.84 and a period of performance ending on July 31, 2025. It is not set aside for any specific business type. Montana State University, a top-tier research university and the largest in Montana, will be conducting...
This federal contract award, identified as NNX16AG89G, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of California, operating as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The $464,564.12 grant is for a research project titled "Exploring the Observational and Physical Characteristics of Flares with and without Seismic Transients." The project aims to utilize data from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) to...
This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a focused program of fundamental research on solar flare dynamics. The research aims to obtain quantitative information on the evolution of solar flare parameters like magnetic field and fast electron distribution over time scales down to 1 second, in order to infer the basic processes occurring in solar flares. The research leverages data from...
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 federal contract award, valued at $73,720.00, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University (MSU) for the continuation of the MAX Millennium Program. The MAX Millennium Program was established in 1999 to advance the understanding of particle acceleration and explosive energy release in solar flares through a combination of observations, data analysis, and theory. Under this contract, MSU will continue to identify and communicate...
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...
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...
