Forecasting Shock-associated Energetic Particle Intensities in the Inner Heliosphere: A Proof-of-Concept Capability for the PUNCH Mission

Maher A. Dayeh, Michael J. Starkey, Heather A. Elliott +4

Solar energetic particles (SEPs) associated with shocks driven by fast coronal mass ejections (CMEs) or shocks developed by corotating interaction regions (CIRs) often extend to hi…

In Situ Observations of Preferential Pickup Ion Heating at an Interplanetary Shock

E. J. Zirnstein, D. J. McComas, R. Kumar +6

Non-thermal pickup ions (PUIs) are created in the solar wind (SW) by charge-exchange between SW ions (SWIs) and slow interstellar neutral atoms. It has long been theorized, but not…

The Atmosphere of Pluto as Observed by New Horizons

G. Randall Gladstone, S. Alan Stern, Kimberly Ennico +31

Observations made during the New Horizons flyby provide a detailed snapshot of the current state of Pluto's atmosphere. While the lower atmosphere (at altitudes <200 km) is consist…
