Energetic Particles from the Sun to the Heliosphere
Energetic Particles from the Sun to the Heliosphere
Session ID#: 159467
Session Description:
Energetic particles are an important topic with great space weather impacts as well as fundamental physical interests. While solar flares and shocks driven by coronal mass ejections are major sources of energetic particles in the inner heliosphere, many other physical processes are proposed to contribute to and/or modify the distribution of energetic particles at different energies. Until now there is not a clear and comprehensive understanding of the acceleration and transport of energetic particles, since the energetic particles detected at observational sites contain a mixed information of the processes from the source to observers. Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter hold the promise to greatly resolve the outstanding issues by providing unique observations close to the Sun. These, along with other spacecraft like ACE, SOHO, WIND, STEREO, and etc, have created unprecedented opportunities to further demystify energetic particles. This session invites studies on energetic particles in both observation and theoretical ways, especially those that can gain more insight by taking advantage of the new observations.
