- 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 $524,336.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The grant supports focused data analysis to quantify the relationships between the nonthermal component of flare-accelerated electrons and the thermal response in "cold" solar flares, a subset of early impulsive flares with a relatively modest thermal response. The goal is to obtain new knowledge about the...
- This is a $674,220.19 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the magnetic field structure and dynamics associated with solar flares exhibiting circular ribbon patterns. The research aims to advance the understanding of the physical processes driving these unusual solar events, including the interaction between active filaments and the fan-spine magnetic field topology. The project will leverage...
- This federal contract award is a $103,375.67 grant for research provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The purpose of the grant is to analyze data from the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) and the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) to investigate magnetic energy transformation and the acceleration of nonthermal electrons during solar flares. This...
- This is a $641,713.85 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the response of the lower solar atmosphere to energetic electrons during solar flares. The research will leverage high-resolution observations from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) at the Big Bear Solar Observatory to investigate the unique spectral properties and physical conditions near...
- This is a $120,000 training grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study chromospheric evaporation during solar flares. The project will analyze data from NASA's Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) mission, along with complementary observations from RHESSI, Fermi, and SDO/HMI, to better understand the connection between energy release mechanisms and the properties of chromospheric evaporation. The...
- This is a grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for research on solar activity and its effects on space weather. The $202,542.65 grant is intended to support early predictions of emerging magnetic flux that forms active regions on the sun, which can lead to solar eruptions and impact various engineering systems, navigation, and public health. The award does not have a set-aside designation, indicating NJIT was...
- This is a $804,397.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a research project focused on understanding the origin of energetic particle seed populations associated with solar energetic particle (SEP) events. The project aims to leverage new microwave imaging data from the Expanded Owens Valley Solar Array (EOVSA) to study the links between solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and the acceleration of...
- This is a $391,199 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center (an alternate name for an unspecified federal agency) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to study the fine structure and dynamics of erupting magnetic flux ropes in the low solar atmosphere. The study aims to use high-resolution solar imaging and magnetography data to quantify the properties and evolution of these magnetic structures, which are crucial for understanding solar eruptions and space weather events. The...
- 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...
