Solar energetic particles, or SEPs, from suprathermal (few keV) up to relativistic (∼∼ few
GeV) energies are accelerated near the Sun in at least two ways:(1) by magnetic …

Solar eruptive phenomena embrace a variety of eruptions, including flares, solar energetic
particles, and radio bursts. Since the vast majority of these are associated with the eruption …

THE leading technology for flat, high-resolution computer and television screens is based on
twisted nematic liquid-crystal displays1. The successful operation of these displays requires …

Corotating interaction regions are a consequence of spatial variability in the coronal
expansion and solar rotation, which cause solar wind flows of different speeds to become …

The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is attracting
renewed interest, thanks to the possibility that the Voyager spacecraft may, in the not too …

There is increasing evidence to suggest that energetic particles observed in “gradual” solar
energetic particle (SEP) events are accelerated at shock waves driven out of the corona by …

A new mechanism for the acceleration of pickup ions by repeated reflections from the
electrostatic cross shock potential of a quasi‐perpendicular shock is presented. The …

This paper reviews three important effects on energetic particles of corotating interaction
regions (CIRs) in the solar wind that are formed at the leading edges of high-speed solar …

Observations and physical concepts are interwoven to give basic explanations of
phenomena and also show the limitations in these explanations and identify some …

The CELIAS experiment on SOHO is designed to measure the mass, ionic charge and
energy of the low and high speed solar wind, of suprathermal ions, and of low energy flare …
