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...
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,...
