This $300,519 National Science Foundation project grant supports research and outreach activities to study the parametric decay instability mechanism's potential role in solar corona heating. Funded under the Geosciences program, which supports basic research to improve understanding of Earth's integrated systems, the two-year award to New Mexico Consortium will analyze observational data and conduct numerical simulations. Postdoctoral researchers and undergraduate students at Columbia...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research on microscale plasma processes in shock and turbulent environments. The $341,464 award to Columbia University, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will focus on two key areas: 1) particle heating and acceleration in shocks, and 2) thermodynamics and transport driven by large-scale turbulence. The research aims to develop...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $573,957 Project Grant under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050) to The Trustees of Princeton University, Office of Research and Project Administration, to conduct research on the role of Alfvén wave reflection and absorption in heating the Sun's upper atmosphere, known as the solar corona. The key objectives of this 3-year project are to: 1) determine the mechanism responsible for Alfvén wave reflection, including the role of collisions; 2)...
The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York (Columbia University) was awarded a three-year, $527,708 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Astronomical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant funds global kinetic modeling and particle-in-cell simulations by Columbia University researchers to better understand the intrabinary shock in "spider pulsars," which are rapidly rotating neutron stars in...
