This federal contract award to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts, is for a grant to conduct research on plasma and magnetic field conditions that influence the growth of whistler-mode waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. The proposed work aims to address three specific science questions related to the effects of cold plasma, plasma/magnetic field modulations, and solar wind/geomagnetic conditions on whistler-mode wave growth. This $518,744 grant is...
This is a $651,975 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private university in Boston, Massachusetts. The grant is for research to investigate the process by which particles are energized and transported within the heliosphere, which is a major outstanding question in the field of heliophysics. The grant has an award date of August 19, 2020 and an ultimate completion date of August 18, 2025. This grant does not have a...
This federal contract award is a $257,429 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Trustees of Boston University, a private non-profit university, to conduct research on the generation mechanism and role of low-frequency hiss in the Earth's radiation belt. Over the remaining two years of the proposed project period, the research will statistically analyze wave and electron data from the Van Allen Probes mission to evaluate the relationship between low-frequency hiss...
