Acceleration of cosmic rays in the outer heliosphere
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)Shortly before the Voyager spacecraft crossed the heliospheric termination shock, they encountered narrow, peak-like enhancements in the intensities of low-energy electrons. These enhancements were associated at the time ... -
A hitch-hiker’s guide to stochastic differential equations: solution methods for energetic particle transport in space physics and astrophysics
(Springer, 2017)In this review, an overview of the recent history of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) in application to particle transport problems in space physics and astrophysics is given. The aim is to present a helpful working ... -
Particle acceleration at travelling shocks in the heliosphere
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)The acceleration of energetic protons from the solar wind (SW) distribution by traveling interplanetary shocks is investigated. The SW velocity distribution is represented using kappa functions, which are transformed in ... -
The role of radial perpendicular diffusion and latitude dependent acceleration along the solar
(Elsevier, 2008)A numerical model, based on Parker’s transport equation, describing the modulation of anomalous cosmic rays and containing diffusive shock acceleration is applied. The role of radial perpendicular diffusion at the solar ...
