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…

On the Diversity of M-Star Astrospheres and the Role of Galactic Cosmic Rays Within

Konstantin Herbst, Klaus Scherer, Stefan E. S. Ferreira +7

With upcoming missions such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the European Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), and the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-surv…

Revisiting the cosmic-ray induced Venusian radiation dose in the context of habitability

Konstantin Herbst, Saša Banjac, Dimitra Atri +1

The Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator (AtRIS) was used to model the altitude-dependent Venusian absorbed dose and the Venusian dose equivalent. For the first time, we mod…

A New Model Suite to Determine the Influence of Cosmic Rays on (Exo)planetary Atmospheric Biosignatures -- Validation based on Modern Earth

Konstantin Herbst, John Lee Grenfell, Miriam Sinnhuber +8

The first opportunity to detect indications for life outside the Solar System may be provided already within the next decade with upcoming missions such as the James Webb Space Tel…

Unusual plasma and particle signatures at Mars and STEREO-A related to CME-CME interaction

Mateja Dumbovic, Jingnan Guo, Manuela Temmer +15

On July 25 2017 a multi-step Forbush decrease (FD) with the remarkable total amplitude of more than 15\% was observed by MSL/RAD at Mars. We find that these particle signatures are…

Implementation and validation of the GEANT4/AtRIS code to model the radiation environment at Mars

Jingnan Guo, Saša Banjac, Lennart Roestel +4

A new GEANT4 particle transport model -- the Atmospheric Radiation Interaction Simulator (AtRIS, Banjac et al. 2018a. J. Geophys. Res.) -- has been recently developed in order to m…
