Solar flares and energetic particles.
Solar flares are now observed at all wavelengths from γ-rays to decametre radio waves. They are commonly associated with efficient production of energetic particles at all energies. These particles play a major role in the active Sun because they contain a large amount of the energy released during flares. Energetic electrons and ions interact with the solar atmosphere and produce high-energy X...
متن کاملAcceleration and Propagation of Solar Energetic Particles
The acceleration of electrons and charged nuclei to high energies is a phenomenon occuring at many astrophysical sites throughout the universe. In the heliosphere, processes in the solar corona associated with flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the most energetic natural particle accelerators, sometimes accelerating electrons and ions to relativistic energies. The observation of these...
متن کاملAcceleration of solar energetic particles: the case of solar (ares
Solar energetic particles are believed to originate from two di*erent sources, solar (ares and coronal mass ejections. These two sources are the most energetic particle accelerators in the heliosphere, as they can accelerate electrons from 10 keV to a few MeV and protons from a few MeV to a few GeV. In this contribution, we restrict our presentation to the case of solar (ares, by reviewing the ...
متن کاملViewing radiation signatures of solar energetic particles in interplanetary space
A current serious limitation on the studies of solar energetic particle (SEP) events is that their properties in the inner heliosphere are studied only through in situ spacecraft observations. Our understanding of spatial distributions and temporal variations of SEP events has come through statistical studies of many such events over several solar cycles. In contrast, flare SEPs in the solar co...
متن کاملThe Coronal Isotopic Composition as Determined Using Solar Energetic Particles
Solar energetic particles (SEPs), like the solar wind, provide a direct sample of the Sun. Although SEP abundances show a variable amount of mass fractionation, it is possible to develop methods of correcting for it in order to deduce the composition of the corona. Using high-resolution measurements from the Solar Isotope Spectrometer on the Advanced Composition Explorer, we have studied the is...
