Catalogue of 55-80 MeV solar proton events extending through solar cycles 23 and 24
Heber, Bernd; Paassilta, Miikka; Raukunen, Osku +9 more
We present a new catalogue of solar energetic particle events near the Earth, covering solar cycle 23 and the majority of solar cycle 24 (1996-2016), based on the 55-80 MeV proton intensity data gathered by the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory/the Energetic and Relativistic Nuclei and Electron experiment (SOHO/ERNE). In addition to ERNE proton a…
Multi-instrument observations of the solar eclipse on 20 March 2015 and its effects on the ionosphere over Belgium and Europe
De Keyser, Johan; Berghmans, David; West, Matthew J. +19 more
A total solar eclipse occurred on 20 March 2015, with a totality path passing mostly above the North Atlantic Ocean, which resulted in a partial solar eclipse over Belgium and large parts of Europe. In anticipation of this event, a dedicated observational campaign was set up at the Belgian Solar-Terrestrial Centre of Excellence (STCE). The objecti…
Solar signatures and eruption mechanism of the August 14, 2010 coronal mass ejection (CME)
Poedts, Stefaan; Berghmans, David; Seaton, Daniel B. +2 more
On August 14, 2010 a wide-angled coronal mass ejection (CME) was observed. This solar eruption originated from a destabilized filament that connected two active regions and the unwinding of this filament gave the eruption an untwisting motion that drew the attention of many observers. In addition to the erupting filament and the associated CME, se…
