ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Solar Atmospheric Modelling

Solar magnetism lies at the root of most solar and heliospheric physics. The intricate structure of the solar field, the activity cycle and the influence of the field on the heliosphere represent major quests of (astro-) physics which bear directly on th e human environment. The sun's magnetic f...

FRINAT-Matematikk og naturvitenskap

Applications of Regularized Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics to gravitationally dominated fluids in astrophysics

Gravitation plays a dominant role in the evolution of many astrophysical systems ranging in length scales from the large-scale structuring of the universe, to the formation and interaction of galaxies, stars, and individual proto-planetary discs. With st eadily increasing resolution, observation...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Probing the Early Universe: a study of the reionization era

The quest to understand the evolution of the Universe is the most central theme in cosmology. The Big Bang model is the most successful description of this evolution and spans all scales from sub-atomic to the present size of the Universe. To begin with the Universe was opaque due to the frequen...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Theoretical, experimental and numerical studies of waves and turbulence in space plasmas

The project is directed towards studies of nonlinear wave phenomena and turbulence in space plasmas. One of the goals for the activity is the study of turbulent transport, with emphasis on turbulence in magnetized plasmas. The activity will contain an eff ort concentrated on studies of the turbul...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Norwegian Participation in the Planck LFI Instrument and Cosmology with the Nordic Optical Telescope

The European Planck mission will from 2007 map in detail the Cosmic Microwave Background with sensitivity and resolution unreachable by any other planned experiment, making possible answering fundamental questions of cosmology such as: What is the precise age of the Universe? How will it end? Wh...

Shedding light on dark energy

We propose to investigate the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe. We will attempt to clarify the nature of the dark energy which is responsible for this acceleration in a project based both on theory and observations - a rather unique collabo ration in Norway. Possible forms of vacu...

ROMFORSK-Program for romforskning

Dr.scient prosjekt: "Waves and the Magnetic Canopy: Reflection, refraction, and mode conversion"

This project aims to carry out numerical simulations of wave propagation in two- and three-dimensional stratified magneto-atmospheres that are representative of the solar photosphere, chromosphere, transition region and corona. Of particular interest is e valuating the conditions that are require...

Real space methods for analyzing random fields, with applications to the cosmic microwave background

During the next few years a wealth of new cosmological data is expected to be released to the scientific community, and in particular the cosmic microwave background will be measured to a high precision. The scientific challenges are therefor expected to shift from producting experimental data, t...

2D- and 3D-models of the solar wind acceleration region

During the change of polarity of the solar magnetic field the upper solar atmosphere is very active and the reversal of the solar magnetic field is believed to be closely connected to the acceleration of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). The CMEs may result in a large perpendicular component in the...
