This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct research on particle energization in solar flares. The $459,998.43 grant, which does not have a set-aside designation, will fund a project that combines observations from various NASA missions, including the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI), and Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph...
This federal contract award is a grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) for a focused program of fundamental research on solar flare dynamics. The research aims to obtain quantitative information on the evolution of solar flare parameters like magnetic field and fast electron distribution over time scales down to 1 second, in order to infer the basic processes occurring in solar flares. The research leverages data from...
This is a $330,224.00 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Montana State University to study the heating and cooling of solar flare loops and estimate the total energy used to heat these loops in a large sample of solar flares. The research will analyze observations from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), Hinode, and the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) missions. The goal is to quantify the energy input in solar flares...
This is a research grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Northwest Research Associates, Inc. (NWRA) to investigate and understand the lifecycle of the solar magnetic field. The grant, valued at $145,785.00, supports the use of data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) mission's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) instrument to model the propagation of solar eruptions and their effects on Earth and space-based assets. The grant aims to better...
This is a $345,986.43 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to The Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford University) for research related to understanding the acceleration and transport of charged particles during solar flares. The objective is to analyze data from the Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (RHESSI) spacecraft and other NASA instruments to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms of energy release and...
This is a $76,909 grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Colorado, Boulder to study magnetic reconnection in the solar corona and Earth's magnetosphere. The grant was issued in response to NASA's Heliophysics Guest Investigators solicitation. The research aims to connect remote observations of the solar corona with in-situ measurements of the magnetosphere to improve understanding of the origin of solar activity and its impact on Earth's...
This is a federal grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA), a non-profit organization that manages astronomical observatories and telescopes. The $524,743.00 grant is for a research project to perform a comprehensive study of the subsurface and surface flows associated with active regions and their evolution using data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This is a $524,336.47 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a public polytechnic university. The grant supports focused data analysis to quantify the relationships between the nonthermal component of flare-accelerated electrons and the thermal response in "cold" solar flares, a subset of early impulsive flares with a relatively modest thermal response. The goal is to obtain new knowledge about the...
This is a $159,659.60 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a non-profit research organization in San Antonio, Texas. The grant is for a research project titled "Determining Temperature Distributions in Solar Flares with RHESSI and EVE", which aims to improve the understanding of the physical mechanisms driving particle acceleration and plasma heating in solar flares. The award is not associated with a...
The Smithsonian Institution, through its Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) division, has been awarded a $322,332.00 grant by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to investigate two scenarios that could explain quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) in solar flare emissions. The research will involve running simulations using the HYDRAD field-aligned hydrodynamics code to model successive magnetic reconnection loop arcades and the effects of density perturbations predicted...
