This is a $740,472.66 grant awarded by NASA to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) to investigate the excitation and characteristics of magnetosonic (MS) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere over a 3-year period. UTD, a public research university, will analyze MS wave data from the Van Allen Probes mission to test linear instability theory, compare proton distribution effects, study nonlinear harmonic evolution, and characterize wave normal angles. This research aims to advance understanding of MS waves, which mediate energy transfer from ring current protons to radiation belt electrons, aligning with Heliophysics Decadal Survey goals to understand magnetospheric dynamics. The work does not have a set-aside designation. UTD is part of the University of Texas System, which has previously conducted federally funded research across diverse scientific and technical domains.
