The updated SANAE neutron monitor
R. D. Strauss, C. van der Merwe, C. Diedericks +5
Neutron monitors have been the premier ground-based instruments for monitoring the near-Earth cosmic ray flux for more than 70 years. It is essential to continue with such measurem…
On the residence-time of Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere
A. Vogt, N. E. Engelbrecht, R. D. Strauss +3
Jovian electrons serve as an important test-particle distribution in the inner heliosphere and have been used extensively in the past to study the (diffusive) transport of cosmic r…
On the shape of SEP electron spectra: The role of interplanetary transport
R. Du Toit Strauss, Nina Dresing, Alexander Kollhoff +1
We address the effect of particle scattering on the energy spectra of solar energetic electron events using i) an observational and ii) a modeling approach. i) We statistically stu…
Voyager 2 enters interstellar space
R. Du Toit Strauss
After 41 years of travel, the Voyager 2 spacecraft joins its twin in interstellar space. A suite of papers report Voyager 2's experience of its transition through the heliosheath a…
Acceleration of solar wind particles by traveling interplanetary shocks
P. L. Prinsloo, R. D. Strauss, J. A. le Roux
The acceleration of thermal solar wind protons at spherical interplanetary shocks driven by coronal mass ejections is investigated. The solar wind velocity distribution is represen…
Solar energetic particle propagation in wave turbulence and the possibility of wave generation
R. D. Strauss, J. A. le Roux
A complete theory for the complex interaction between solar energetic particles and the turbulent interplanetary magnetic field remains elusive. In this work we aim to contribute t…
