The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $215,044 Project Grant under its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) to conduct the Citizen CATE (Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse) Next-Generation 2024 Total Solar Eclipse Experiment. This collaborative project between SwRI, the National Solar Observatory, and the National Center for Atmospheric Research aims to deploy 40 teams of citizen scientists along the path of the April...
This $177,334 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support imaging and spectral observations of the 2023 and 2024 total solar eclipses conducted by President and Trustees of Williams College. Key deliverables include high-resolution Fabry-Perot and Lyot/Halle filter observations of the solar corona, high-frequency (>1 Hz) power spectra measurements of coronal loops to study coronal heating...
This $215,044 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Division of Astronomical Sciences supports the Citizen Continental-America Telescopic Eclipse (Citizen CATE) experiment for the 2024 total solar eclipse. The grant will fund the deployment of 40 teams of citizen scientists along the path of totality to collect over 60 minutes of high-resolution polarimetric data on the solar corona. The research aims to better understand the physical processes that shape the heating,...
This $135,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports collaborative research to study the impact of solar eclipses on the ionosphere, a critical region of Earth's atmosphere that affects radio communications and navigation. The lead awardee, the Regents of the University of Colorado (a U.S. state government entity and institution of higher learning), will coordinate multi-instrument observations of ionospheric parameters during...

The National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences awarded a $462,848 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049) program to The SETI Institute. The grant will fund a comprehensive analysis of period changes in eclipsing binary stars from 2022-2025. Researchers will measure decades-long period changes in hundreds of eclipsing binaries to constrain the internal structure of individual stars and probe for additional bodies like planets or stars. They will use...
