Soft Proton Environment Modeling for SMILE Using XGBoost and Solar Cycle–Informed Synthetic Data Sets

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Soft proton contamination presents a persistent threat to the performance of space‐based X‐ray observatories such as ESA's upcoming Solar‐wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE). This study develops a machine‐learning framework for modeling soft proton fluxes in the 92.2–159.7 keV range, tailored to SMILE's elliptical, highly ...

3D propagation of relativistic solar protons through interplanetary space [PDF]

, 2020
Context. Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) with energy in the GeV range can propagate to Earth from their acceleration region near the Sun and produce Ground Level Enhancements (GLEs).

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection as an Acceleration Mechanism in Earth’s Magnetotail

The Astrophysical Journal
Using electric and magnetic fields measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we construct a test-particle simulation of a turbulent magnetic reconnection region to investigate observed ion acceleration. We identify three types of energized

Cosmic Dust Flux During the Quaternary: The Record of Large Scoriaceous and Unmelted Micrometeorites From the Transantarctic Mountains Collection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract We estimate the cosmic dust flux to Earth through the study of rare micrometeorites that preserve part of their precursor features during atmospheric entry heating, namely unmelted and scoriaceous subtypes. Combining high‐precision mass balance measurements, X‐ray computed microtomography and scanning electron microscopy, we studied mass, size

Multispacecraft Energetic Particle Enhancements Associated with a Single Corotating Interaction Region

The Astrophysical Journal
The radial evolution of particles accelerated at corotating interaction regions (CIRs) is not fully understood, particularly the distance range over which this particle acceleration occurs and how the energy spectra are modulated by transport through the

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

Radial evolution of interplanetary coronal mass ejection-associated particle acceleration observed by Solar Orbiter and ACE [PDF]

On 2022 March 10 a coronal mass ejection erupted from the Sun, resulting in Solar Orbiter observations at 0.45 au of both dispersive solar energetic particles arriving prior to the interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) and locally accelerated ...

Modulation of cosmic-ray ground-level enhancements by solar-wind stream interfaces: a case study [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Ground-level enhancements (GLEs) provide crucial insights into the acceleration and transport of solar energetic particles (SEPs). We present a comprehensive analysis of GLE 72, which occurred on 10 September 2017, coinciding with a solar-wind stream ...
