The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $120,555 Project Grant to The University of Alabama in Huntsville under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to study solar flare-producing active regions. A research team from the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama, Huntsville will examine the mechanisms that trigger solar flares through observational studies and data-driven magnetohydrodynamic modeling...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) provides $295,673 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to conduct collaborative research on understanding the heating mechanisms of the solar flare atmosphere. The project aims to elucidate the temporal, spatial, and magnetic structures of "elementary bursts" which are the basic units of solar flare energy release. To achieve this, the research will leverage high-cadence,...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports a collaborative research project to characterize energy release and flare heating mechanisms on the Sun. The total funding amount is $222,464 for the project period of September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027. The research aims to combine numerical modeling with the analysis of high-resolution spatial and spectral...
This $243,905 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to analyze the movement, acceleration, heating, and magnetic properties of particles near solar flares. The investigators will use data from radio and X-ray telescopes to develop sophisticated computational models and tools for understanding the magnetic and plasma structure above solar flares. The project aims to measure the coronal magnetic field and...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $550,926 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to develop deep learning tools and models for understanding solar flare initiations. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, the awardee will train graduate students and high school interns while undertaking five interrelated tasks. These include creating...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award in the amount of $172,015 will support collaborative research on the role of supra-arcade downflows (SADs) in the energy transfer processes of solar flares. Led by researchers at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), the project aims to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of energy release in solar flare regions by systematically investigating the energy transfer associated with...
This $137,356 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research to characterize energy release and heating mechanisms during solar flares. The project will combine numerical modeling with analysis of high-resolution observations to advance the understanding of flare physics. Two graduate students will conduct the observational analysis and flare modeling as part of their thesis work. By...
This $303,253 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Montana State University aims to advance the understanding of solar flare heating mechanisms. The research team will conduct high-cadence, high-resolution observations of solar flares using the Goode Solar Telescope and upcoming X-ray instruments to study the temporal, spatial, and magnetic structures of the fundamental energy release processes, known as "elementary bursts."...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports fundamental research into the role of supra-arcade downflows (SADs) on energy transfer in solar flares. The $103,671 award, effective from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027, will enable the Trustees of Dartmouth College to perform a comprehensive investigation using state-of-the-art MHD models, particle simulations, and image synthesis approaches to compare with multi-wavelength...
This $473,175 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Astronomical Sciences supports research by the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute (BAER Institute), a non-profit research organization, and the University of Alabama, Huntsville. The funding will be used to analyze observations of sunspots from the NSF's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) to better understand the dynamics of small-scale jets and bright dots in and around sunspot penumbrae....
