Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]
Space Science Reviews, 2007 This paper briefly reviews proton acceleration at interplanetary shocks. This is key to describing the acceleration of heavy ions at interplanetary shocks because wave excitation—and hence particle scattering—at oblique shocks is controlled by the protons and not the heavy ions.

Particle Acceleration at Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2008 The acceleration of interstellar pick-up ions as well as solar wind species has been observed at a multitude of interplanetary (IP) shocks by different spacecraft. This paper expands upon previous work modeling the phase space distributions of accelerated ions associated with the shock event encountered on day 292 of 1991 by the Ulysses mission at 4.5 ...

Energetic particle investigation using the ERNE instrument [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 During solar flares and coronal mass ejections, nuclei and electrons accelerated to high energies are injected into interplanetary space. These accelerated particles can be detected at the SOHO satellite by the ERNE instrument.

Betatron Acceleration of Suprathermal Electrons within a Small-scale Flux Rope in the Solar Wind
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 A growing body of evidence from observations, theories, and simulations indicates that particles can be effectively accelerated in solar wind regions filled with dynamic small-scale flux ropes (FRs).

Acceleration of Solar Wind Particles by Traveling Interplanetary Shocks [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Abstract The acceleration of thermal solar wind (SW) protons at spherical interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections is investigated. The SW velocity distribution is represented using κ-functions, which are transformed in response to simulated shock transitions in the fixed-frame flow speed, plasma number density, and ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We analyze periods with elevated >40 MeV proton intensities observed near Earth over a time span of 43 yr (1973–2016) that coincide with the passage of interplanetary (IP) shocks.

Acceleration of Solar Energetic Particles by the Shock of Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Abstract Interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) shocks are known to accelerate particles and contribute significantly to solar energetic particle events. We have performed magnetohydrodynamic-particle in cell simulations of ICME shocks to understand the acceleration mechanism. These shocks vary in Alfvénic Mach numbers as well as in

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 In an effort to develop computational tools for predicting radiation hazards from solar energetic particles (SEPs), we have created a data-driven physics-based particle transport model to calculate the injection, acceleration, and propagation of SEPs ...

Long-duration high-energy proton events observed by GOES in October 1989 [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 We consider the prolonged injection of the high-energy (>10 MeV) protons during the three successive events observed by GOES in October 1989. We apply a solar-rotation-stereoscopy approach to study the injection of the accelerated particles from ...
