Advanced Heliophysics

Advanced Heliophysics is a corporate entity registered in SAM.gov as a non-profit organization providing research services related to heliophysics. Through a prime federal contract with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Shared Services Center, Advanced Heliophysics is conducting research to associate different types of solar wind flows with regions on the sun and explore how rotating coronal holes contribute to solar wind. The $314,538 contract runs from 2020 through 2023.

Advanced Heliophysics has received four federal sub grant awards to provide research services as a subrecipient partner, analyzing in-situ solar wind data and modeling solar wind expansion effects. As a subrecipient on grants from the University of California Los Angeles, Advanced Heliophysics analyzes magnetic and velocity fluctuations in solar wind to characterize Alfvenic states. They also collaborate to run field aligned solar wind models exploring how expansion effects from coronal holes alter the Alfvenicity of solar wind. Additionally, as a subrecipient they research how magnetic energy is stored and channeled in the solar atmosphere and heliosphere.
