This three-year project grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), provides $134,443 to support collaborative research titled "SHINE: Where are Particles Accelerated in Coronal Jets?". The research aims to enhance understanding of how energy is produced by the Sun and accelerated in interplanetary space by investigating where electrons are accelerated in coronal jets originating near solar...
This $568,185 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) will support research to study the origin and evolution of jets emanating from coronal holes on the Sun. The project, titled "SHINE: Statistical Birth Conditions of Coronal Hole Jets Using the Legacy Dunn Solar Telescope," will use measurements from the Dunn Solar Telescope in New Mexico and other observatories to trace the properties of these jets across different atmospheric...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, totaling $357,172, supports research into small-scale ejections in the sun's photosphere through chromosphere and corona from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2024. The award is being administered by the New Jersey Institute of Technology under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to strengthen understanding of the integrated Earth system through basic atmospheric and ocean sciences...
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...
This $300,519 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and outreach activities to study the parametric decay instability mechanism's potential role in solar corona heating. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research to improve understanding of Earth's integrated systems, the two-year award to New Mexico Consortium will analyze observational data and conduct numerical simulations. Postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate students at Columbia...
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center awarded a $144,697 Project Grant under the Science Mission Directorate (CFDA 43.001) to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL) with a performance period from October 7, 2024 to October 6, 2027. The purpose of the grant is to identify and characterize solar jets detected in observations from the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instrument on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $385,959 to the Wentworth Institute of Technology aims to improve understanding of the Sun's corona, the hot outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, by analyzing data from five total solar eclipses between 2015-2024. The project will analyze visible and near-infrared imaging data of coronal emission lines to infer the electron temperature, electron density, and structure of the coronal magnetic...
This five-year, $1.286 million Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences will fund research into stormtime magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling and the enhancement of the dawnside auroral electrojet. Under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), which supports basic research in atmospheric, earth, and ocean sciences to expand understanding of the integrated Earth system, the Johns Hopkins University will investigate the ionospheric current and...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) provides $105,935 to the SETI Institute for collaborative research on plasma turbulence and heating in the solar chromosphere. The investigators will conduct theoretical analyses, computer simulations, and observations using NASA satellite data to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, specifically the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, are responsible for heating in the...
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)...
