This paper is designed to bring to the attention the fact that the effect of focusing of solar energetic particles is always essential as compared with scattering, no matter how small the value of the mean free path may be. That is why, an ordinary (focusing-free) diffusion approach can not be applied to the solar cosmic ray transport. In the case of high-energy solar particles, the focused diffusion is demonstrated to lead to a power law decay of energetic particle intensity much like an ordinary diffusion. However, the power law index of the decay is renormalized by the focusing. 相似文献

A series of yearly data on the concentration of radioactive carbon 14C in tree rings measured at the Tbilisi State University in 1983–1986 and covering the time interval 1600–1940 is statistically analyzed. We find evidence for a 22-year cyclicity in the intensity of Galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) during the Maunder minimum of the solar activity (1645–1715), testifying that the solar dynamo mechanism continued to operate during this epoch. Variations of Δ14C on timescales of tens and hundreds of years correlate well with the corresponding variations of the GCR intensity and solar activity, making radiocarbon a reliable source of information on long-timescale variations of solar activity in the past. Short-timescale (<30 years) fluctuations of Δ14C may be appreciably distorted by time variations not associated directly with solar activity; probable origins of this distortion are discussed. 相似文献

Response of Alma-Ata neutron monitor for solar neutrons from the 15 June 1991 was studied. We considered this response as a test for various scenarios of proton acceleration during the flare. The analysis of neutron monitor is an evidence in favour of the assumption of two acts of proton acceleration at impulsive and post-impulsive phases of the flare. 相似文献

Bidecadal fluctuations in terrestrial climate were analyzed. It was shown that this variability might arise if Earth's climate reacts to galactic cosmic-ray intensity, integrated over its full quasi-11-year cycle. It was further shown that this integral effect should also lead to an effective link between climate and the duration of the quasi-11-year cycle in cosmic ray flux. That, in turn, must result in appearance of some connection between climate and the length of the solar cycle, which is currently a topic of active debate. Analyses of temperature proxies, obtained for northern Fennoscandia, confirmed the connection of the climate in this region and the length of the cycle in galactic cosmic-ray intensity. Decadal and bidecadal variability of integrated cosmic-ray flux was quantitatively estimated. 相似文献

Using data obtained with neutron monitors and space-borne instruments, we analyzed the second ground-level enhancement (GLE) of Solar Cycle 24, namely the event of 10 September 2017 (GLE 72), and derived the spectral and angular characteristics of associated GLE particles. We employed a new neutron-monitor yield function and a recently proposed model based on an optimization procedure. The method consists of simulating particle propagation in a model magnetosphere in order to derive the cutoff rigidity and neutron-monitor asymptotic directions. Subsequently, the rigidity spectrum and anisotropy of GLE particles are obtained in their dynamical evolution during the event on the basis of an inverse-problem solution. The derived angular distribution and spectra are discussed briefly. 相似文献

The quasi-five-year variation in the abundance of nitrate in Central Greenland ice is revealed. Probable origin of the variation is the connection of solar proton events with the period of declining solar activity. Such a connection exists during more than 200 years and appears to be a fundamental property of solar activity. 相似文献

Past solar activity is studied based on analysis of data on the nitrate content of Greenland ice in the period from 1576–1991. Hundred-year (over the entire period) and quasi-five-year (in the middle of the 18th century) variations in the nitrate content are detected. These reflect the secular solar-activity cycle and cyclicity in the flare activity of the Sun. 相似文献

The first increase in neutron monitor count rate during the ground-level event on 24 May 1990 was interpreted by Shea et al. (1991) as a consequence of an arrival of flare neutrons. Debrunner et al. (1991) rejected the neutron hypothesis and proposed that the first neutron monitor increase was due to the arrival of primary protons. We have show that neutron monitor data do not contradict the hypothesis of a neutron origin of the first increase of ground-level event on 24 May 1990. 相似文献

This paper presents an integrated analysis of GOES 6, 7 and neutron monitor observations of solar cosmic-ray event following the 1990 May 24 solar flare. We have used a model which includes particle injection at the Sun and at the interplanetary shock front and particle propagation through the interplanetary medium. The model does not attempt to simulate the physical processes of coronal transport and shock acceleration, therefore the injections at the Sun and at the shock are represented by source functions in the particle transport equation. By fitting anisotropy and angle-average intensity profiles of high-energy (>30 MeV) protons as derived from the model to the ones observed by neutron monitors and at GOES 6 and 7, we have determined the parameters of particle transport, the injection rate and spectrum at the source. We have made a direct fit of uncorrected GOES data with both primary and secondary proton channels taken into account.The 1990 May 24–26 energetic proton event had a double-peaked temporal structure at energies 100 MeV. The Moreton (shock) wave nearby the flare core was seen clearly before the first injection of accelerated particles into the interplanetary medium. Some (correlated with this shock) acceleration mechanism which operates in the solar corona at a height up to one solar radius is regarded as a source of the first (prompt) increase in GOES and neutron monitor counting rates. The proton injection spectrum during this increase is found to be hard (spectral index 1.6) at lower energies ( 30 MeV) with a rapid steepening above 300 MeV. Large values of the mean free path ( 1.8 AU for 1 GV protons in the vicinity of the Earth) led to a high anisotropy of arriving protons. The second (delayed) proton increase was presumably produced by acceleration/injection of particles by an interplanetary shock wave at height of 10 solar radii. Our analysis of the 1990 May 24–26 event is in favour of the general idea that a number of components of energetic particles may be produced while the flare process develops towards larger spatial/temporal scales.Visiting Associate from St. Petersburg State Technical University, St. Petersburg 195251, Russia. 相似文献

Monte Carlo simulations of interplanetary transport are employed to study adiabatic energy losses of solar protons during
propagation in the interplanetary medium. We consider four models. The first model is based on the diffusion-convection equation.
Three other models employ the focused transport approach. In the focused transport models, we simulate elastic scattering
in the local solar wind frame and magnetic focusing. We adopt three methods to treat scattering. In two models, we simulate
a pitch-angle diffusion as successive isotropic or anisotropic small-angle scatterings. The third model treats large-angle
scatterings as numerous small-chance isotropizations. The deduced intensity–time profiles are compared with each other, with
Monte Carlo solutions to the diffusion-convection equation, and with results of the finite-difference scheme by Ruffolo (1995).
A numerical agreement of our Monte Carlo simulations with results of the finite-difference scheme is good. For the period
shortly after the maximum intensity time, including deceleration can increase the decay rate of the near-Earth intensity essentially
more than would be expected based on advection from higher momenta. We, however, find that the excess in the exponential-decay
rate is time dependent. Being averaged over a reasonably long period, the decay rate of the near-Earth intensity turns out
to be close to that expected based on diffusion, convection, and advection from higher momenta. We highlight a variance of
the near-Earth energy which is not small in comparison with the energy lost. It leads to blurring of any fine details in the
accelerated particle spectra. We study the impact of realistic spatial dependencies of the mean free path on adiabatic deceleration
and on the near-Earth intensity magnitude. We find that this impact is essential whenever adiabatic deceleration itself is
important. It is also found that the initial angular distribution of particles near the Sun can markedly affect MeV-proton
energy losses and intensities observed at 1 AU. Computations invoked during the study are described in detail. 相似文献
