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,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a Project Grant under the Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) program to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) in the amount of $243,905.00 with a project period from August 15, 2024 to July 31, 2027. The grant will fund research to analyze data from radio and X-ray telescopes to develop sophisticated computational models for studying the dynamics of the coronal magnetic field and nonthermal particles during solar flares. This research aims to obtain...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award of $103,671 to the Trustees of Dartmouth College, awarded on August 15, 2024, aims to comprehensively explore the role of supra-arcade downflows (SADs) in energy transfer processes during solar flares. The project will combine state-of-the-art magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models, particle simulations, and observational data analysis to address key science questions related to how SADs engage in energy...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) award of $824,005 provides funding to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to support routine radio observations of solar activity using the Owens Valley Solar Arrays. The project will advance understanding of solar phenomena, such as solar flares, active regions, and coronal holes, which impact space weather and can disrupt communication networks. Key objectives include: (1) investigating magnetic energy...
This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to improve the understanding of energy transfer processes associated with supra-arcade downflows (SADs) in solar flares. The $335,621 award, effective August 15, 2024 through July 31, 2027, supports a collaborative research project led by several early-career women principal investigators. The project involves a comprehensive investigation combining state-of-the-art...
The New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) received a three-year, $564,918 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences on September 1, 2021 to advance understanding of solar flares through microwave imaging spectroscopy. Under the award, NJIT will leverage microwave imaging spectroscopy to expand fundamental knowledge of solar flares and the integrated Earth system, in alignment with the objectives of the NSF's Geosciences...
This $305,598 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will fund collaborative research between the New Jersey Institute of Technology and the University of Alabama, Huntsville to study solar flare-producing active regions.
