Nonthermal Acceleration of Electrons, Positrons, and Protons at a Nonrelativistic Quasi-parallel Collisionless Shock

The Astrophysical Journal
Energetic positrons have been observed in the interstellar medium, and high-energy positrons with relativistic energies up to approximately 1 TeV have been detected in Galactic cosmic rays.

Formation of the Injection Function of Solar Energetic Particles in Gradual Events

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a model for solar energetic particle injection into interplanetary space in gradual events, in which particle acceleration occurs in a limited region of the solar atmosphere.

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Betatron Cooling of Halo and Strahl Electrons in the Solar Wind

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
It is widely recognized that adiabatic acceleration plays an essential role in the dynamics of the solar wind electron distribution. Nevertheless, the role of electron adiabatic cooling remains poorly understood, at least from an observational standpoint.

On the Effects of the Solar Wind Structure in the Global Distribution of dBH/dt ${\text{dB}}_{H}/\text{dt}$ Spikes During Geomagnetic Storms

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Variations in the solar wind, particularly those associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) and high‐speed streams (HSSs), drive geomagnetic disturbances that produce rapid changes in the ground magnetic field. These variations, commonly quantified by the time derivative of the horizontal magnetic field dBH/dt $\left({\text ...

Inner plasma structure of the low-latitude reconnection layer [PDF]

, 2012
We report a clear transition through a reconnection layer at the low-latitude magnetopause which shows a complete traversal across all reconnected field lines during northwestward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions.

TRANSPORT EQUATION FOR MHD TURBULENCE: APPLICATION TO PARTICLE ACCELERATION AT INTERPLANETARY SHOCKS

The Astrophysical Journal, 2009
The aim of the present paper is to unify the various transport equations for turbulent waves that are used in different areas of space physics. Here, we mostly focus on the magnetohydrodynamic turbulence, in particular the Alfvenic turbulence. The applied methods, however, are general and can be extended to other forms of turbulence, for example the ...

Cosmic Ray Anisotropy Generated by the June 22nd 2015 Interplanetary Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract On 22 June 2015, the near Earth interplanetary space was perturbed by a series of high‐speed streamers and interplanetary coronal mass ejections associated with an active region and two low‐latitude coronal holes. The interaction of these disturbances gave rise to the complex solar wind structure observed at 1 au.

The driving mechanisms of particle precipitation during the moderate geomagnetic storm of 7 January 2005 [PDF]

, 2007
International audienceThe arrival of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) triggered a sudden storm commencement (SSC) at ~09:22 UT on the 7 January 2005. The ICME followed a quiet period in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).

Evolution of Electron Acceleration by Corotating Interaction Region Shocks at 1 au

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We present the first observations of in situ electron acceleration at corotating interaction region (CIR) shocks near 1 au, utilizing measurements from Wind and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the interplanetary medium. As the forward (reverse)
