What are the Sources of Solar Energetic Particles? Element Abundances and Source Plasma Temperatures
Donald V. Reames
We have spent 50 years in heated discussion over which populations of solar energetic particles (SEPs) are accelerated at flares and which by shock waves driven out from the Sun by…
Coronal Sources of Impulsive Fe-Rich Solar Energetic Particle Events
Stephen Kahler, Donald Reames, Edward Cliver
We review recent work on 111 Fe-rich impulsive solar energetic ( 3 MeV/nuc) particle (SEP) events observed from 1994 to 2013. Strong elemental abundance enhancements scale wi…
Temperature of the Source Plasma in Gradual Solar Energetic Particle Events
Donald V. Reames
Scattering, during interplanetary transport in large, "gradual" solar energetic-particle (SEP) events, can cause element abundance enhancements or suppressions that depend upon the…
Temperature of the Source Plasma for Impulsive Solar Energetic Particles
Donald V. Reames, Edward W. Cliver, Stephen W. Kahler
The steep power-law dependence of element abundance enhancements on the mass-to-charge ratios [A/Q] of the ions in impulsive solar energetic-particle (SEP) events causes these enha…
Element abundances in solar energetic particles: two physical processes, two abundance patterns
Donald V. Reames
Abundances of elements comprising solar energetic particles (SEPs) come with two very different patterns. Historically called "impulsive" and "gradual" events, they have been studi…
