US-India Cooperative Research: Studies on Solar Rotation & Related Phenomena from the Kodaikanal & Mt. Wilson Sunspot Measurements, Award in Indian Currency

描述：该奖项支持美国-印度合作研究：对科迪卡纳尔太阳图像的分析，以美国和印度货币奖励。合作者是亚利桑那州图森市国家太阳天文台的Robert Howard和印度班加罗尔市印度天体物理研究所的K.R. Sivaraman。研究人员将使用两个独特的数据集，Kodaikanal和Mount Wilson太阳黑子数据。柯达卡纳尔的数据可以追溯到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础数据。利用这些综合数据，研究人员将研究太阳表面的运动，这对于回答关于太阳内部的太阳发电机过程的许多尚未解决的问题很重要。补充数据的使用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度。项目范围：该项目支持两位非常有能力的太阳天文学家之间的合作，研究一个困难但重要的科学问题。太阳天文学是印度的强项。该奖项支持对先前由国际项目部（INT）支持的项目收集的数据进行分析。该项目是互利的，符合INT的支持标准。＊＊＊

9709908 Sivaraman 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. ***
