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…
Energy-dependent SEP Fe/O abundances during the May 2024 superstorm
G. D. Muro, C. M. S. Cohen, Z. Xu +16
During mid-May 2024, active region (AR) 13664 produced a series of M- and X-class flares along with several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that resulted in exceptionally strong auro…
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…
Composition variation of the May 16 2023 Solar Energetic Particle Event observed by Solar Orbiter and Parker Solar Probe
Z. G. Xu, C. M. S Cohen, R. A. Leske +13
In this study, we employ the combined charged particle measurements from Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (\ISOIS) onboard the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Energetic Par…
Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet
M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22
We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…
