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,...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) Project Grant award totaling $172,015 will support collaborative research led by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to investigate the role of supra-arcade downflows (SADs) in energy transfer during solar flares. The research aims to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of energy release in the above-the-loop-top (ALT) regions of solar flares, which are critical to comprehending these highly energetic...
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. The researchers will leverage high-resolution observations from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope and other ground-based and space-based telescopes, along...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) grant award provides $593,864 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) from September 2024 to August 2027. The project will develop an AI-driven framework called SolarDM to generate high-resolution, high-cadence vector magnetograms of the solar chromosphere and photosphere. These AI-generated products will provide valuable data on the Sun's magnetic field to significantly advance the understanding and prediction...
The National Science Foundation awarded New Jersey Institute of Technology a three-year project grant totaling $573,200 under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050) effective June 1, 2023. The grant funds research to advance artificial intelligence techniques for predicting coronal mass ejections and their effects. Specifically, NJIT will employ graph neural networks and ensemble learning methods to forecast whether solar active regions will produce coronal mass ejections,...
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 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, under the Geosciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.050), provides $550,926 to the New Jersey Institute of Technology to develop deep learning tools and models for understanding solar flare initiations. Over a three-year period from September 2022 to August 2025, the awardee will train graduate students and high school interns while undertaking five interrelated tasks. These include creating...
This three-year, $435,681 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports research into mini-filament eruptions and their relationship to small-scale magnetic flux ropes in the solar wind. The New Jersey Institute of Technology will investigate the kinematic, thermal, and magnetic properties of mini-filaments and any connections between their eruptions and detected small-scale flux ropes in the solar wind. Researchers will analyze high-resolution...
