Strength of Coronal Mass Ejection‐driven Shocks near the Sun and Their Importance in Predicting Solar Energetic Particle Events [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2007
Coronal shocks are important structures, but there are no direct observations of them in solar and space physics. The strength of shocks plays a key role in shock-related phenomena, such as radio bursts and solar energetic particle (SEP) generation. This paper presents an improved method of calculating Alfven speed and shock strength near the Sun. This

Solar Energetic Fe Charge State Measurements: Implications for Acceleration by Coronal Mass Ejection–driven Shocks

Astrophysical Journal, 1996
A variety of studies have demonstrated that large (gradual) solar energetic particle (SEP) events are produced by shocks driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs). As the CME-driven shocks propagate through the corona and interplanetary space, they accelerate energetic particles from ambient plasma.

Effects of background solar wind on the propagation of coronal mass ejection driven shock

2023
Propagation of interplanetary (IP) shocks, particularly those driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), is still an outstanding question in heliophysics and space weather forecasting. Here we address effects of the ambient solar wind on the propagation of two CME-driven shocks from Sun to Earth. The two CME-driven&

Evidence for shock generation in the solar corona in the absence of coronal mass ejections

Astronomy Reports, 2017
The solar event SOL2012–10–23T03:13, which was associated with a X1.8 flare without an accompanying coronal mass ejection (CME) and with a Type II radio burst, is analyzed. A method for constructing the spatial and temporal profiles of the difference brightness detected in the AIA/SDOUVand EUV channels is used together with the analysis of the Type II ...

The Analysis of Interplanetary Shocks Associated with Six Major Geo-Effective Coronal Mass Ejections during Solar Cycle 24

open access: yesInternational Journal of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2019
A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is an ejection of energetic plasma with magnetic field from the Sun. In traversing the Sun-Earth distance, the kinematics of the CME is immensely important for the prediction of space weather. The objective of the present work is to study the propagation properties of six major geo-effective CMEs and their associated ...

A solar scenario for the associated occurrence of flares, eruptive prominences, coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, and interplanetary shocks

Solar Physics, 1995
The observation of non-corotating shock fronts in interplanetary space is always associated with the previous occurrence of a coronal mass ejection (CME), which is frequently accompanied by a flare or a prominence eruption. When looking at the solar region of origin of these events, a coronal hole is always found.

The role of coronal mass ejections and interplanetary shocks in interplanetary magnetic field statistics and solar magnetic flux ejection

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1997
We examine the role of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and interplanetary shocks in modifying the large‐scale winding of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) by extracting CME and shock observations from the ISEE 3 data set and analyzing periods of the disturbed and undisturbed solar wind separately.

Solar cycle variation of interplanetary shocks, coronal mass ejections, and stream interactions observed at 0.7 AU

Advances in Space Research, 1995
A survey of the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) magnetometer and plasma data from 1979-1980, shows that the occurrence frequency of interplanetary shocks, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and stream interactions observed at 0.7 AU exhibits a solar cycle variation.

On the viscosity effects in the shock wave observed in the solar wind after the December 13, 2006 coronal mass ejection

Astrophysical Bulletin, 2015
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and solar wind are the main results of solar activity. These events can drive interplanetary shock waves and produce geomagnetic storms. The study of these events is very important for space weather purposes. The shock waves occur where the solar wind changes its characteristics from being supersonic (with respect to the ...
