Comparing Methods for Calculating Solar Energetic Particle Intensities: Re-binning versus Spectral Binning

M. E. Cuesta, L. Y. Khoo, G. Livadiotis +13

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed for decades in the interplanetary medium by spacecraft measuring the intensity of energetic ions and electrons. These inten…

Observations of Kappa Distributions in Solar Energetic Protons and Derived Thermodynamic Properties

M. E. Cuesta, A. T. Cummings, G. Livadiotis +13

In this paper we model the high-energy tail of observed solar energetic proton energy distributions with a kappa distribution function. We employ a technique for deriving the therm…

Kappa-tail technique: Modeling and application to Solar Energetic Particles observed by Parker Solar Probe

G. Livadiotis, A. T. Cummings, M. E. Cuesta +10

We develop the kappa-tail fitting technique, which analyzes observations of power-law tails of distributions and energy-flux spectra and connects them to theoretical modeling of ka…

Parker Solar Probe Observations of Energetic Particles in the Flank of a Coronal Mass Ejection Close to the Sun

N. A. Schwadron, Stuart D. Bale, J. Bonnell +32

We present an event observed by Parker Solar Probe at 0.2 au on March 2, 2022 in which imaging and \emph{in situ} measurements coincide. During this event, PSP passed through…

Correlation of Coronal Mass Ejection Shock Temperature with Solar Energetic Particle Intensity

Manuel Enrique Cuesta, D. J. McComas, L. Y. Khoo +13

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been observed by the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft since its launch in 2018. These events include sources from solar flares and cor…

Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere: Opportunities for Multi-spacecraft Observations and Modeling

R. D. Strauss, N. Dresing, N. E. Engelbrecht +11

In this paper we explore the idea of using multi-spacecraft observations of Jovian electrons to measure the 3D distribution of these particles in the inner heliosphere. We present…

The modulation of anomalous and galactic cosmic ray oxygen over successive solar cycle minima

R. D. Strauss, R. A. Leske, J. S. Rankin

Both the recent 2009 and 2020 solar minima were classified as unusually quiet and characterized with unusually high galactic cosmic ray (GCR) levels. However, unlike the trends fro…

Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar Energetic Particles in Cis-Lunar Space: Need for contextual energetic particle measurements at Earth and supporting distributed observations

Claudio Corti, Kathryn Whitman, Ravindra Desai +5

The particle and radiation environment in cis-lunar space is becoming increasingly important as more hardware and human assets occupy various orbits around the Earth and space expl…

Cosmic ray transport near the Sun

R. D. Strauss, J. P. van den Berg, J. S. Rankin

The strongly diverging magnetic field lines in the very inner heliosphere, through the associated magnetic focusing/mirroring forces, can, potentially, lead to highly anisotropic g…
