Observations and Interpretations of Energetic Neutral Hydrogen Atoms from the December 5, 2006 Solar Event
We discuss recently reported observations of energetic neutral hydrogen atoms (ENAs) from an X9 solar flare/coronal mass ejection event on 5 December 2006, located at E79. The observations were made by the Low Energy Telescopes (LETs) on STEREO A and B. Prior to the arrival of the main solar energetic particle (SEP) event at Earth, both LETs observed a sudden burst of 1.6 to 15 MeV energetic ne...
متن کاملThe acceleration characteristics of solar energetic particles in the 2000 July 14 event
In large gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events, especially the ground-level enhancement (GLE) events, where and how energetic particles are accelerated is still a problem. By using imaging data from TRACE, Yohkoh/HXT, SOHO/MDI and SOHO/EIT, along with the data from the GOES, Apatity NM, and SOHO/LASCO CME catalog, the evolution of the X5.7 two-ribbon flare and the associated SEP event o...
متن کاملCarrington Flare of 1859 as a Prototypical Worst-Case Solar Energetic Particle Event
Recent analyses of ice core samples indicate that the Carrington flare of 1859 was the largest event observed in the past 500 years. These ice core data yield estimates of the proton fluence for energies greater than 30 MeV, but provide no other spectrum information. Assuming that the proton energy distribution for such an event is similar to that measured for other recent, large events, total ...
متن کاملMoments of energetic particle distributions in the solar atmosphere
This paper describes a theory that provides a direct link between observable properties of energetic particle distributions and the unobservable properties of the initial distributions. A general approach is first outlined and then applied to the specific situation of collisional electron transport in the solar atmosphere. By building on previous results, this treatment does not require explici...
متن کاملNumerical Studies of the Solar Energetic Particle Transport and Acceleration
Solar energetic particles often get accelerated to energies up to few GeV at interplanetary shock waves driven by Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and are of considerable importance for space weather studies because they can produce radiation hazards for manned or unmanned spacecraft. Particles accelerated at the shock wave can escape upstream and downstream into the interplanetary medium. As the ...
