Parker Solar Probe observations of solar energetic particle (SEP) events with inverse velocity arrival (IVA) features
Zigong Xu, C. M. S. Cohen, R. A. Leske +21
In SEP events, velocity dispersion (VD) is characterized by the earlier arrival of faster, higher-energy particles relative to slower ones, assuming negligible acceleration time an…
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…
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…
