Abstract: | A non spherically-symmetric monoenergetic-point-source solution of the steady-state equation of transport for cosmic-rays in the interplanetary region, in which monoenergetic particles are released isotropically and continuously from a fixed heliocentric position is derived by a Laplace transform method. The solution is for a spherically-symmetric model of the propagating region incorporating anisotropic diffusion, with a diffusion tensor symmetric about the radial direction, and the solar wind velocity is radial and of constant speedV. The spherically-symmetric monoenergeticsource solution of Webb and Gleeson (1973) and of Toptygin (1973) is regained from the spherically-symmetric component of the point-source solution. |
