This three-year Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $144,535 to the University of Wisconsin System to conduct collaborative research on coronal magnetic structure and solar flares/coronal mass ejections. The research team will employ Gauss's separation method and nonlinear force-free field extrapolations to analyze photospheric vector magnetograms of solar active...
This Project Grant award of $394,601 from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports a research project to measure the magnetic field in the Sun's corona using the helium 1083 nm emission line. The principal investigator at Southwest Research Institute will develop a machine learning method based on the Hanle effect to determine the full vector magnetic field of the solar corona. The project aims to improve predictions of solar coronal mass ejections, which...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $578,828 to Predictive Science Incorporated will fund research to better understand the connection between the solar corona and the inner heliosphere, and how the evolution of magnetic fields at the solar surface impacts this coupled system. The key products and services to be delivered include: Comparing ballistic mapping and steady-state models with time-dependent computational models of the...
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, 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 $593,864 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the development of an advanced AI framework, named SolarDM, to generate high-resolution, high-cadence vector magnetograms of the Sun's chromosphere and photosphere. These synthetic data products will enable the PI to apply explainable AI (XAI) methods to improve the accuracy of predicting solar eruptions, such as flares and coronal mass ejections, which can impact...
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 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...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050), supports collaborative research on solar plasma turbulence and heating processes. The funded project, awarded $105,935 on August 1, 2024, will carry out theoretical analysis and computer simulations to test the hypothesis that small-scale plasma processes, known as the thermal Farley-Buneman instability, contribute to heating in the Sun's atmosphere. The research team will constrain...
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...
