Comparison of Two Techniques for Magnetically Connecting In-situ Observations with Solar Sources
(2015)
Abstract
The Sun continually sends out streams of energetic particles via the solar wind (SW). Certain events take place on the sun that cause significant increases in energy output. The interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is the primary transport vehicle for the solar energetic particles (SEP) generated by such events. Studying SEPs may provide answers regarding solar phenomena such as magnetic reconnection and wave-particle interactions as well as particle acceleration mechanisms and transfer of energy. Understanding these phenomena may enhance our ability to forecast SEP events.
