- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration awarded a $516,000 grant contract to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute, doing business as Baer Institute, to identify the origin of non-thermal broadenings in high-temperature solar flare lines. The research will help understand how energy is transported and deposited during solar flares. Performance will take place in Moffett Field, California over a four-year period ending in March 2024. The contract was awarded as an other than...
- This is a $665,373 grant awarded by the Shared Services Center of a civilian federal agency to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, for research on the propagation, dissipation, and wave-particle interaction of Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere. The research aims to investigate multi-fluid and multi-species effects on these processes and any resulting chemical fractionation. BAER Institute will utilize its proprietary 3D numerical...
This federal contract award to the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, aims to improve understanding of the transport and distribution of solar energetic particles (SEPs) in the inner heliosphere. The $268,905 grant, awarded by the NASA Shared Services Center, will utilize combined modeling and data analysis methods within a field-line random walk framework to study the large longitudinal spreads of impulsive SEP events observed by multiple spacecraft. The research seeks to address key science questions on how SEPs quickly access longitudinally separated locations, the role of interplanetary turbulence in cross-field transport, and the relative importance of the near-Sun injection region versus interplanetary transport effects on SEP spatial distributions. This work is directly relevant to the science goals of the STEREO mission and the National Academy of Sciences' decadal survey, and is timely given upcoming observations from Solar Probe Plus and Solar Orbiter. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, reflecting BAER Institute's specialized expertise in solar physics research and data analysis capabilities.
