Periodic Density Structures Observed in Ulysses Data: First Results
Abstract Periodic density structures (PDSs) are advecting quasi‐periodic (periodicities between several minutes and several hours) density enhancements observed in the solar wind and corona. There is strong evidence that PDSs are formed at the Sun.

Time-Dependent Modulation of Cosmic Rays in the Heliosphere
The time-dependent modulation of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere is studied by computing intensities using a time-dependent modulation model.

Abstract Cherenkov detectors have been used in space for decades to measure Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs), Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) and trapped particles. We present proof‐of‐concept GRAS/Geant4 simulations to both show that a cubic fused silica Cherenkov detector with SiPM in LEO has a good sensitivity to SEP and GCR protons as a function of cut‐

The effect of the solar field reversal on the modulation of galactic cosmic rays [PDF]
There is now a growing awareness that solar cycle related changes in the large-scale structure of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) may play an important role in the modulation of galactic cosmic rays.

Cosmic-ray transport in the heliosphere with HelioProp
Before being detected at Earth, charged cosmic rays propagate across the Solar System and undergo interactions with the turbulent solar wind and with the heliospheric magnetic field.

Loading Non‐Maxwellian Velocity Distributions in Particle Simulations
Abstract Numerical procedures for generating non‐Maxwellian velocity distributions in particle simulations are presented. First, Monte Carlo methods for the (r,q) $(r,q)$ distribution that generalizes flattop and Kappa distributions are discussed. Then, two rejection methods for the regularized Kappa distribution are presented, followed by a comparison

The Voyager spacecraft are providing the first in situ measurements of physical properties in the outer heliosphere beyond the heliopause. These data, together with data from the IBEX and Hubble Space Telescope and physical models consistent with these ...

On the Freeze‐In Distance of Solar Wind Fluid Entropy Variability in the Corona
Abstract The strong correlation between solar wind entropy and the frozen‐in ion charge state ratio O7+/O6+ ${\mathrm{O}}^{7+}/{\mathrm{O}}^{6+}$ indicates that entropy variability on timescales of hours or longer is preserved from its solar source. This prompts the question: where in the solar atmosphere does this entropy variability come from, and at

Toward a Dynamic Model for Topside Ionospheric Irregularities: Spherical Harmonic Decomposition
Abstract Ionospheric irregularities arise from highly dynamic and turbulent processes related to magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling and can lead to electromagnetic signal distortion or loss of lock events in global navigation satellite system signals, representing a hazard associated with space weather events. For this reason, understanding and modeling

Collisional thermalization of minor ions in the solar wind
IntroductionAs the solar wind transits through the heliosphere, Coulomb collisions among constituent particles drives it toward local thermodynamic equilibrium. Prior studies of ion collisions in the solar wind have focused on the two most abundant solar
