This is a $873,428.00 grant awarded to the University of Maryland, College Park by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for a research project titled "The Onset of Reconnection and Associated Turbulence in Solar Eruptions". The grant has a period of performance from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2025. The University of Maryland, College Park is a state-controlled institution of higher learning that frequently receives federal contract and grant awards to...
This federal grant award to the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) supports research into the dynamics of the solar wind, specifically investigating how the kinetic coupling of electrons and ions affects the large-scale behavior of the radially expanding solar wind. The research aims to address the "solar wind isotropy problem" - an observed phenomenon where the temperatures of solar wind electrons and protons become nearly isotropic, which has not been fully explained...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $126,103 grant to the University of Maryland, College Park to research the role of return currents in determining the accelerated electron distribution in solar flares. The University of Maryland will perform this research under the auspices of the Office of Research Administration. NASA's Shared Services Center in College Park, Maryland is the funding agency. This single-award grant has no set-aside designation and work is to be...
The University of Maryland, College Park was awarded a $50,000 grant contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to conduct research relating to solar wind interaction with conductors near small airless bodies. As the prime contractor, the University of Maryland will perform the work through its Office of Research Administration. The research is to be conducted in College Park, Maryland over a one year period beginning November 1, 2023 and ending...
