The project uses a combination of solar observations, nonlinear force-free field...
- This federal contract award, valued at $605,360.66, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a non-profit research and educational organization that serves as a trust instrumentality of the U.S. government. The contract supports an investigation into the energy budget and heating processes of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as they expand from the solar surface to several solar radii. The...
- This federal contract award, with a ceiling value of $433,582.00, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The award is for the project "GLOBAL HELIOSEISMOLOGY: STATE OF THE ART DERIVATIONS OF THE DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF THE SOLAR INTERIOR FROM HMI OBSERVATIONS" and does not have a set-aside designation. The Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the...
- This federal contract award, with ID 80NSSC21K2044, was granted to the Smithsonian Institution's Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) to conduct "STUDIES OF THE DYNAMICS AND OBSERVABLE PREDICTIONS IN MAGNETIC RECONNECTION REGIONS". The $568,686.00 cost-reimbursement grant, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to enhance the understanding of how magnetic energy is transformed into various plasma energies. The Smithsonian Institution, a...
This federal contract award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO), a division of the Smithsonian Institution, is for data-constrained and data-driven magnetofrictional (MF) and magnetohydrodynamical (MHD) simulations of active region evolution and initiation of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The $282,623.00 grant will fund research to explore pre-eruptive magnetic configurations, the formation and evolution of flux ropes, the link between magnetic energy/helicity and eruptions, and the CME initiation mechanism. The work will utilize data from NASA's space-based solar observatories. This is not a set-aside contract. The Smithsonian Institution, a leading provider of scientific research and instrumentation to federal agencies, frequently collaborates with universities on NASA and National Science Foundation projects as both a prime contractor and subcontractor.
