Evidence of Time-Dependent Diffusive Shock Acceleration in the 2022 September 5 Solar Energetic Particle Event
Xiaohang Chen, Lulu Zhao, Joe Giacalone +15
On 2022 September 5, a large solar energetic particle (SEP) event was detected by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) and Solar Orbiter (SolO), at heliocentric distances of 0.07 and 0.71 au,…
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…
Parker Solar Probe Observations of Energetic Particles in the Flank of a Coronal Mass Ejection Close to the Sun
N. A. Schwadron, Stuart D. Bale, J. Bonnell +32
We present an event observed by Parker Solar Probe at 0.2 au on March 2, 2022 in which imaging and \emph{in situ} measurements coincide. During this event, PSP passed through…
Acceleration of electrons and ions by an "almost" astrophysical shock in the heliosphere
Immanuel Christopher Jebaraj, Oleksiy Agapitov, Vladimir Krasnoselskikh +18
Collisionless shock waves, ubiquitous in the universe, are crucial for particle acceleration in various astrophysical systems. Currently, the heliosphere is the only natural enviro…
