Single-spacecraft techniques for shock parameters estimation: A systematic approach

Vainio, R.; Horbury, T.; Dresing, N. +8 more

Spacecraft missions provide the unique opportunity to study the properties of collisionless shocks utilising in situ measurements. In the past years, several diagnostics have been developed to address key shock parameters using time series of magnetic field (and plasma) data collected by a single spacecraft crossing a shock front. A critical aspec…

Interplanetary Ion Flux Dropouts Across Multiple 3He-Rich Events

Rodríguez-Pacheco, J.; Wimmer-Schweingruber, R. F.; Allen, R. C. +3 more

Solar Orbiter, a joint ESA/NASA mission, is studying the Sun and inner heliosphere in greater detail than ever before. Launched in February 2020, Solar Orbiter has already completed its first three orbits, reaching perihelia of 0.5 au from the Sun in June 2020, February and August 2021. During the first 2 years in orbit, Solar Orbiter observed mul…

Solar Energetic Particle Time Series Analysis with Python

Dresing, Nina; Vainio, Rami; Price, Daniel J. +6 more

Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) are charged particles accelerated within the solar atmosphere or the interplanetary space by explosive phenomena such as solar flares or Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). Once injected into the interplanetary space, they can propagate towards Earth, causing space weather related phenomena. For their analysis, interpla…
