Latitudinal and radial gradients of galactic cosmic ray protons in the inner heliosphere - PAMELA and Ulysses observations

Gieseler, J.; Heber, B.; Picozza, P. +5 more

Ulysses, launched on 6 October 1990, was placed in an elliptical, high inclined (80.2°) orbit around the Sun, and was switched off in June 2009. It has been the only spacecraft exploring high-latitude regions of the inner heliosphere. The Kiel Electron Telescope (KET) aboard Ulysses measures electrons from 3 MeV to a few GeV and protons and helium…

Three dimensional model of the interplanetary magnetic field and 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic ray intensity

Wawrzynczak, A.; Modzelewska, R.; Alania, M. V.

We present a model of the 27-day variation of the galactic cosmic ray (GCR) intensity for three dimensional (3-D) heliosphere with the heliolongitudinal and heliolatitudinal dependent radial solar wind speed for the period of 1995 - minimum epoch of solar activity (A>0). In the present model we implement heliolongitudinal asymmetry of solar win…

Observations of anomalous transport of energetic electrons in the heliosphere

Perri, S.; Zimbardo, G.

We study the propagation of energetic particles, accelerated by interplanetary shock waves, upstream of the shock, considering the possibility of having anomalous transport. The theoretical treatment of the anomalous transport is developed via the propagator formalism, considering that in the case of a superdiffusive transport the propagator has p…
