- 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 Project Grant award, with a total funding amount of $394,601.00, was provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) located in San Antonio, Texas. The award supports a combined modeling and observing project to estimate the magnetic field strength in the Sun's corona using a new computational technique based on spectropolarimetric signatures of the unsaturated Hanle effect in the neutral helium (He I) 1083.0 nm line....
- The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded $202,000 to investigate the structure of the solar corona using ground-based radio observations and space-based white-light imaging under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) effective October 1, 2026. The research employs two complementary observational approaches: white-light image data from the Wide-Field Imager for Parker Solar Probe (WISPR) and radio Faraday rotation data from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences awarded the University of California, Berkeley $509,494 on February 15, 2026, under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to investigate the formation and evolution of energetic particles streaming sunward from the Sun through interplanetary space during solar events that affect Earth. The project will analyze how energetic particles from solar and heliospheric sources form and evolve, with emphasis on...
- 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 Office of Integrative Activities awarded $109,992 to the Smithsonian Institution, doing business as Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, on September 1, 2026, under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to support collaborative research on solar wind–Milky Way impacts on complex Earth systems (COSMIC). The award funds research examining how the Sun's galactic environment has influenced Earth's history. The project integrates expertise in astronomy,...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $388,769 awarded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) supports multi-wavelength spectroscopic and spectropolarimetric diagnostics of the solar atmosphere from April 2021 through March 2024. The University Corporation will utilize observations from the Dunn Solar Telescope and SDO/HMI to develop new non-force-free magnetic field extrapolation codes. These codes will estimate magnetic field line heights and strengths surrounding sunspots....
- This federal Project Grant award of $182,730, provided by the National Science Foundation's Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), aims to improve the understanding of the Sun's corona through the analysis of data from five total solar eclipses between 2015 and 2024. The project, led by Predictive Science Incorporated, a for-profit research organization in San Diego, will analyze visible and near-infrared imaging data of coronal emission lines to infer the electron temperature, electron density, and...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $565,903 project grant to the University of Colorado Boulder under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to support research examining the role of acoustic waves in the solar chromosphere. Through simulations using two 3D radiative magnetohydrodynamic codes, the awardee will study how acoustic wave excitation events and atmospheric preconditioning impact the thermodynamics and ionization state of the chromosphere. Results will be...
- 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...
