Linking Solar Magnetism, Extreme Solar Particle Events and Stellar Superflares

Valeriy Vasilyev, Natalie Krivova, Ilya Usoskin

The magnetic field of the Sun drives a wide range of eruptive phenomena, from small-scale nanoflares to large flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). While direct observations of…

Superflares on solar-like stars: A new method for identifying the true flare sources in photometric surveys

Valeriy Vasilyev, Timo Reinhold, Alexander I. Shapiro +5

Over the past years, thousands of stellar flares have been detected by harvesting data from large photometric surveys. These detections, however, do not account for potential sourc…

The mini-neutron monitor: A new approach in neutron monitor design

Du Toit Strauss, Stepan Poluianov, Cobus van der Merwe +15

The near-Earth cosmic ray flux has been monitored for more than 70 years by a network of ground-based neutron monitors (NMs). With the ever-increasing importance of quantifying the…

Assessment of the Radiation Environment at Commercial Jet Flight Altitudes During GLE 72 on 10 September 2017 Using Neutron Monitor Data

A. L. Mishev, I. G. Usoskin

As a result of intense solar activity during the first ten days of September, a ground level enhancement occurred on September 10, 2017. Here we computed the effective dose rates i…

Solar total and spectral irradiance reconstruction over the last 9000 years

C. -J. Wu, N. A. Krivova, S. K. Solanki +1

Changes in solar irradiance and in its spectral distribution are among the main natural drivers of the climate on Earth. However, irradiance measurements are only available for les…

The AD775 cosmic event revisited: the Sun is to blame

I. G. Usoskin, B. Kromer, F. Ludlow +5

Miyake et al. (henceforth M12) recently reported, based on 14C data, an extreme cosmic event ca. AD775. Using a simple model, M12 claimed that the event was too strong to be caused…
