This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $150,000 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to advance understanding of coronal heating mechanisms in the Sun. Through a combination of multi-wavelength microwave imaging observations from the Extended Owens Valley Solar Array and 3D numerical simulations, the grantee will examine the coupling of thermal and magnetic structures...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $573,957 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, to conduct research on the role of Alfvén wave reflection and absorption in heating the Sun's upper atmosphere, known as the solar corona. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) determine the mechanism responsible for Alfvén wave reflection, including the role of collisions; 2)...
This $517,046 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research on plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The investigators will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, cause heating in the coolest parts of the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will use observational data...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support a $582,399 research project by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to investigate the origins of "active longitudes" on the Sun's surface and their connection to the solar dynamo and coronal mass ejections. The 3-year project will utilize 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations and 17 years of observational data from the National Solar Observatory's Global Oscillation Network...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $280,817 Project Grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) from May 15, 2023 to April 30, 2026. The grant supports research to advance understanding of coronal heating and solar wind acceleration processes through multi-messenger data analysis and four-dimensional forward modeling simulations. Specifically, the University will construct line-of-sight models of extreme ultraviolet and X-ray...
