US-India Cooperative Research: Analysis of Kodiakanal Solar Images, Award in U.S. and Indian Currencies

9604920霍华德描述：该奖项支持美印合作研究：科迪卡纳尔太阳图像分析奖，以美国和印度货币颁发。合作者是亚利桑那州图森市国家太阳天文台的罗伯特·霍华德和印度班加罗尔印度天体物理研究所的K.R.西瓦拉曼。研究人员将使用两个独特的数据集，Kodaikanal和威尔逊山太阳黑子数据。Kodaikanal的数据可以追溯到1906年。这些数据集构成了关于太阳表面运动的一组特别有价值的基本数据。使用合并后的数据，研究人员将研究太阳表面运动，这些运动对于回答许多关于太阳内部太阳能发电机过程的悬而未决的问题非常重要。使用补充数据将大大提高推断与太阳活动周期有关的地下物理条件的精确度。范围：该项目支持两个高能力太阳天文学家之间的合作，并处理一个困难但重要的科学问题。太阳天文学是印度的强项。该奖项支持对以前由国际方案司(INT)资助的一个项目收集的数据进行分析。该项目是互惠互利的，符合INT的支持标准。***

9604920 Howard Description: This award supports the U.S.- India Cooperative Research: Analysis of Kodikanal Solar Images, Award in U.S. and Indian Currency. The collaborators are Robert Howard, National Solar Observatory, Tucson, Arizona and K.R. Sivaraman, Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bangalore, India. The researchers will use two unique data sets, the Kodaikanal and Mount Wilson sunspot data. The Kodaikanal data go back to 1906. These data sets constitute a particularly valuable set of fundamental data on solar surface motions. Using the combined data, the investigators will study solar surface motions that are important for answering many unsolved questions about the solar dynamo processes within the sun. The use of complementary data will greatly improve the precision with which to infer subsurface physical conditions related to the solar activity cycle. Scope: This project supports a collaboration between two highly competent solar astronomers and deals with a difficult but important scientific problem. Solar astronomy is a field of Indian strength. This award supports the analysis of data collected under a project previously supported by the Division of International Programs (INT). The project is mutually beneficial and meets INT criteria for support. ***
