On electron acceleration at CIR related shock waves

Mann, G.; Keppler, E.; Roelof, E. C. +1 more

The interaction of fast and slow speed solar wind streams leads to the formation of so-called corotating interaction regions (CIRs) in the heliosphere. These CIRs are often associated with shock waves, at which electrons are accelerated as observed by the Ulysses spacecraft. A correlation between the ratio of energetic electron fluxes at the cross…
