The Bridge Project: Bringing Early Childhood Special Educators and Behavior Interventionists Together Through Interdisciplinary Evidence-Based Preparation to Serve Young Children with High-Intensity Needs

The Bridge Project: Bringing Early Childhood Special Educators and Behavior Interventionists Together Through Interdisciplinary Evidence-Based Preparation to Serve Young Children with High-Intensity Needs is designed to address the critical shortage of highly qualified professionals prepared to...

Development of a Polarimeter System for Solar Synoptic High-Sensitivity Observations

Solar activities are dominated by magnetic fields. Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are often associated with pre-existing filaments or prominences. The determination of the magnetic field in the solar chromosphere before, during, and after a CME event will allow us to derive the conditions that trigger CMEs and the magnetic field properties of the ejected material. Both ingredients are crucial to improve the...

Development of a High-Speed and Full-Disk Polarimeter for Solar Synoptic Observations

California State University Northridge (CSUN), in collaboration with NSO and NJIT, seeks NSF support to develop the first sCMOS based high-speed & high-accuracy polarimeter that will be able to acquire a polarization Stokes vector measurement with a speed up to 100 Hz and an accuracy up to ?10-3. The developed instrument will be used for the observations of Solar Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) associated events o...

Development of a device for measuring turbulence in the air above telescopes that observe the sun

Measuring the turbulence in the atmosphere at different altitudes or ""heights"" above telescope observing sites allows astronomers to correct for the blurring of images that this turbulence produces. This blurring occurs when observing stars and galaxies at night, but also when observing the star nearest to the earth, the Sun, during the day. The principal investigator (PI) of this proposal, along w...
