Multi-spacecraft observations of shocklets at an interplanetary shock

Domenico Trotta, Heli Hietala, Timothy Horbury +5

Interplanetary (IP) shocks are fundamental building blocks of the heliosphere, and the possibility to observe them \emph{in-situ} is crucial to address important aspects of energy…

Magnetic reconnection as a mechanism to produce multiple protonpopulations and beams locally in the solar wind

B. Lavraud, R. Kieokaew, N. Fargette +37

Context. Spacecraft observations early revealed frequent multiple proton populations in the solar wind. Decades of research on their origin have focused on processes such as magnet…

Coherent Electromagnetic Emission from Relativistic Magnetized Shocks

Lorenzo Sironi, Illya Plotnikov, Joonas Nättilä +1

Relativistic magnetized shocks are a natural source of coherent emission, offering a plausible radiative mechanism for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). We present first-principles 3D simu…

Influence of Ion-Neutral Damping on the Cosmic-Ray Streaming Instability: Magnetohydrodynamic Particle-in-cell Simulations

Illya Plotnikov, Eve C. Ostriker, Xue-Ning Bai

We explore the physics of the gyro-resonant cosmic ray streaming instability (CRSI) including the effects of ion-neutral (IN) damping. This is the main damping mechanism in (partia…

On the origin of hard X-ray emissions from the behind-the-limb flare on 2014 September 1

Yihong Wu, Alexis P. Rouillard, Athanasios Kouloumvakos +6

The origin of hard X-rays and gamma-rays emitted from the solar atmosphere during occulted solar flares is still debated. The hard X-ray emissions could come from flaring loop tops…

Evidence for a Coronal Shock Wave Origin for Relativistic Protons Producing Solar Gamma-Rays and Observed by Neutron Monitors at Earth

Athanasios Kouloumvakos, Alexis P. Rouillard, Gerald H. Share +4

We study the solar eruptive event on 2017 September 10 that produced long-lasting 100 MeV -ray emission and a ground level enhancement (GLE72). The origin of the high-energy…
