Collaborative Research: Probing Coronal Processes Through Three Total Solar Eclipses

US NSF grant open #nsf-2602403

Summary

A total solar eclipse offers a unique opportunity to study the Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, where dynamic processes, including solar wind, originate. These dynamic processes impact the operations of satellites, power systems, and communications on Earth. The goal of this proposal is to leverage three upcoming total solar eclipses on 12 August 2026, 2 August 2027, and 22 July 2028, to advance understanding of coronal conditions that lead to extreme space weather events. The findings will have important implications for current space infrastructure and for future space exploration. The pr
