Transfer of Entropy between the Magnetic Field and Solar Energetic Particles during an Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejection

M. E. Cuesta, G. Livadiotis, D. J. McComas +4

Thermodynamics of solar wind bulk plasma have been routinely measured and quantified, unlike those of solar energetic particles (SEPs), whose thermodynamic properties have remained…

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…

Estimates of Proton and Electron Heating Rates Extended to the Near-Sun Environment

R. Bandyopadhyay, C. M. Meyer, W. H. Matthaeus +11

A central problem of space plasma physics is how protons and electrons are heated in a turbulent, magnetized plasma. The differential heating of charged species due to dissipation…
