Sources of solar energetic particles [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2019
Solar energetic particles are an integral part of the physical processes related with space weather. We present a review for the acceleration mechanisms related to the explosive phenomena (flares and/or coronal mass ejections, CMEs) inside the solar corona.

A Perspective on Solar Energetic Particles

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
The author has been fortunate to observe and participate in the rise of the field of solar energetic particles (SEPs), from the early abundance studies, to the contemporary paradigm of shock acceleration in large SEP events, and element abundance ...

Pitch-angle Distributions of 0.5–1 GeV Solar Protons Crossing Earth’s Orbit: Influence of the Large-scale Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Using numerical simulations, we analyze the time evolution of the pitch-angle distribution of 500 MeV and 1 GeV solar protons, released impulsively near the Sun, at 1 au. The numerical model solves the equations of motion of an ensemble of particles that

On the Onset Delays of Solar Energetic Electrons and Protons: Evidence for a Common Accelerator

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The processes responsible for the acceleration of solar energetic particles (SEPs) are still not well understood, including whether SEP electrons and protons are accelerated by common or separate processes. Using a numerical particle transport model that

Energetic Neutral Atoms from Solar Energetic Particles due to Shocks: Inclusion of Upstream Particles

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Many aspects of solar energetic particles are not well understood, including their acceleration mechanism. There has been recent interest in the potential of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) as remote probes of solar energetic particles (SEPs) and their ...

Analysis of SEP Events and Their Possible Precursors Based on the GSEP Catalog

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Solar energetic particle (SEP) events are one of the most crucial aspects of space weather. Their prediction depends on various factors including the source solar eruptions such as flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

Dispersive Suprathermal Ion Events Observed by the Parker Solar Probe Mission

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
During Encounter 11, Parker Solar Probe observed a low-energy dispersive ions event of solar origin. The event was observed in the SPAN-I and IS⊙IS EPI-Lo sensors.

From the Sun’s south to the north pole – Ulysses COSPIN/LET composition measurements at solar maximum [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2003
Based on elemental abundance ratios derived from the Ulysses COSPIN/LET measurements, we classified the energetic particle populations during and after the socalled Fast Latitude Scan – the time period during which the Ulysses spacecraft traveled

Shock Propagation and Associated Particle Acceleration in the Presence of Ambient Solar-Wind Turbulence

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The topic of this review paper is on the influence of solar wind turbulence on shock propagation and its consequence on the acceleration and transport of energetic particles at shocks.
