Multi - spacecraft Study of the 8 November 2000 SEP Event : Electron Injection Histories 100 ° Apart
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the analysis of a large solar near-relativistic electron event observed by the Ulysses and the ACE spacecraft on 8 November 2000, when Ulysses was located at a heliocentric distance of 2.4 AU and at a heliographic latitude of ∼80° S. We use a particle propagation model to infer the local interplanetary transport conditions and the injection histories of the near-relativistic electrons observed by both spacecraft. We find different local transport conditions for each set of observations. The inferred injection profiles for both spacecraft extend for several hours; but the injection at Ulysses was smaller and started later. The association with type II radio emission suggests that the heliospheric electrons were provided by coronal shock acceleration. An analysis of the in situ magnetic field and plasma measurements indicates that the global configuration of the heliosphere (disturbed by transient structures) could play a role in shaping the characteristics of solar energetic particle events observed from different locations.

Probing shock geometry via the charge to mass ratio dependence of heavy ion spectra from multiple spacecraft observations of the 2013 November 4 event
In large SEP events, ions can be accelerated at CME-driven shocks to very high energies. Spectra of heavy ions in many large SEP events show features such as roll-overs or spectral breaks. In some events when the spectra are plotted in energy/nucleon they can be shifted relative to each other to make the spectral breaks align. The amount of shift is charge-to-mass ratio (Q/A) dependent and vari...

Impulsive solar energetic particle (SEP) events are associated with impulsive X-ray flares, energetic electrons, and enhanced heavy ion abundances. Using instruments on ACE, we have examined the composition and origin of twelve impulsive SEP events from November 1997 to June 2000. have enhanced ‘HerHe ratios compared with the solar wind values. All selected impulsive SEP events The range of ‘He...

[1] Spacecraft observations in the inner heliosphere offer the first opportunity to measure 1–10 MeV solar neutrons. We discuss the cross sections for neutron production in solar flares and calculate the escaping neutron spectra for monoenergetic and power law particle spectra at the Sun and at the distance (0.48 AU) and observation angle of MESSENGER at the time of its reported detection of lo...

The Simbox mission was the first joint space project between Germany and China in November 2011. Eleven-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana wild type semisolid callus cultures were integrated into fully automated plant cultivation containers and exposed to spaceflight conditions within the Simbox hardware on board of the spacecraft Shenzhou 8. The related ground experiment was conducted under similar ...
