Case study of the mesospheric and lower thermospheric effects of solar x-ray flares: Coupled ion-neutral modelling and comparison with EISCAT and riometer measurements [PDF]
Two case studies of upper mesospheric and lower thermospheric (UMLT) high-latitude effects of solar X-ray flares are presented. Sodankylä Ion-neutral Chemistry Model (SIC) electron density profiles agree with D-region EISCAT and riometer ...

The flux of energetic particles originating from the Sun fluctuates during the solar cycles. It depends on the number and properties of active regions (ARs) present in a single day and associated solar activities, such as solar flares and coronal mass ...

Magnetic local time (MLT) dependence of auroral peak emission height and morphology [PDF]
We investigate the bulk behaviour of auroral structures and peak emission height as a function of magnetic local time (MLT). These data are collected from the Fennoscandian Lapland and Svalbard latitudes from seven identical auroral all-sky cameras (ASC)

Acceleration, Containment, and Emission of Very Low Energy Solar Flare Particles [PDF]
We present the first observations of protons down to 44 keV and electrons down to ≲ keV emitted in an impulsive solar particle event. The observations are from the Apollo 15 Subsatellite during a flare event which began on September 1, 1971. We obtain a lower limit estimate of the energy contained in ≳ MeV protons in the flare. The effects of adiabatic

The role of alpha particles in the emission of plasma waves inside solar ejecta [PDF]
The enhancement of the resonant instability of right-hand polarized electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves by alpha particles for physical parameters corresponding to coronal mass ejections is studied. We focus on the effects of alpha thermal anisotropy and relative He++/H+ abundance on growth and absorption rates.

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

Simulation of the Solar Energetic Particle Event on 2020 May 29 Observed by Parker Solar Probe
This paper presents a stochastic three-dimensional focused transport simulation of solar energetic particles (SEPs) produced by a data-driven coronal mass ejection (CME) shock propagating through a data-driven model of coronal and heliospheric magnetic ...

N-S Asymmetry and Solar Cycle Distribution of Superactive Regions from 1976 to 2017
There were 51 superactive regions (SARs) during solar cycles (SCs) 21–24. We divided the SARs into SARs1, which produced extreme space weather events including ≥X5.0 flares, ground level events (GLEs), and super geomagnetic storms (SGSs, Dst < −250 nT ...

Three-dimensional reconstruction of multiple particle acceleration regions during a coronal mass ejection [PDF]
Context. Some of the most prominent sources for particle acceleration in our Solar System are large eruptions of magnetised plasma from the Sun called coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
