Large gradual solar energetic particle events
DOI: 10.1007/s41116-016-0002-5 Bibcode: 2016LRSP...13....3D

Giacalone, Joe; Desai, Mihir

Solar energetic particles, or SEPs, from suprathermal (few keV) up to relativistic (few GeV) energies are accelerated near the Sun in at least two ways: (1) by magnetic reconnection-driven processes during solar flares resulting in impulsive SEPs, and (2) at fast cor…

Global seismology of the Sun
DOI: 10.1007/s41116-016-0003-4 Bibcode: 2016LRSP...13....2B

Basu, Sarbani

The seismic study of the Sun and other stars offers a unique window into the interior of these stars. Thanks to helioseismology, we know the structure of the Sun to admirable precision. In fact, our knowledge is good enough to use the Sun as a laboratory. We have also been able to study the dynamics of the Sun in great detail. Helioseismic data al…

Inversion of the radiative transfer equation for polarized light
DOI: 10.1007/s41116-016-0005-2 Bibcode: 2016LRSP...13....4D

Ruiz Cobo, Basilio; del Toro Iniesta, Jose Carlos

Since the early 1970s, inversion techniques have become the most useful tool for inferring the magnetic, dynamic, and thermodynamic properties of the solar atmosphere. Inversions have been proposed in the literature with a sequential increase in model complexity: astrophysical inferences depend not only on measurements but also on the physics assu…
