- 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...
- This is a $442,133.00 federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to study magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. The grant will fund research to improve upon a previous methodology and apply it to analyze data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Hinode satellites to better understand the relationship between changes in magnetic field topology and energy dissipation during reconnection events. The research aims to...
- This is a $612,874.41 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Regents of the University of Colorado (CU), doing business as the University of Colorado, for research on whether magnetic reconnection occurs via single or multiple X-lines in the solar wind. The research aims to understand solar wind structure and energy budget by analyzing magnetic field signatures across solar wind exhausts. The grant supports solar wind observations, multi-spacecraft...
- This is a three-year, $463,046.05 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to investigate the impact of solar wind structures on the Earth's magnetosphere. The research aims to improve understanding of magnetic reconnection processes at the dayside magnetopause and will leverage global magnetohydrodynamic and large-scale kinetic simulations, along with spacecraft observations from missions like Cluster,...
- This $134,813.42 research grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning, to study the origin of the sun's magnetism. The research is focused on observing highly regular patterns of magnetic activity on the solar disk, which is one of the most pressing outstanding problems in astrophysics. The grant was awarded on September 1, 2019 and is scheduled for completion on...
- This $98,588.98 federal grant award was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Regents of the University of Colorado, acting through its Office of Contracts and Grants, to conduct research on magnetic reconnection processes in the Earth's magnetotail. The University of Colorado, an accredited public research institution, will use this funding to study the rapid transport of magnetic flux and plasma towards and away from the Earth, as observed by satellite...
- This is a $385,825.32 research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado. The objective is to improve understanding of in-situ generation of multiple X-lines at the Earth's dayside magnetopause, which is a topic of great importance for understanding the coupling between the solar wind and planetary magnetospheres. The research will utilize data from the Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS)...
- This is a $450,000.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Space Science Institute (SSI), a nonprofit research organization based in Boulder, Colorado. The grant is part of NASA's Living With a Star (LWS) program and aims to use a systems-science approach to increase understanding of the connections between the solar wind and the Earth's inner magnetosphere. The key objectives of the grant are to determine the dominant correlations and time lags...
- This is a $959,896.99 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado Boulder for a research project on stellar magnetism and dynamo action. The work will involve numerical and theoretical studies to understand the fundamental physics that drive stellar dynamos in Sun-like stars. This research aligns with NASA's Living With a Star science focus area and will support the agency's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission by providing...
- This is a $213,668.74 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, a division of the Smithsonian Institution, a trust instrumentality of the United States. The grant supports research to investigate the stability of magnetic flux ropes in the solar corona, which is fundamental to understanding solar activity and space weather events. The project uses a combination of solar observations, nonlinear force-free field...
