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 ...
An investigation into a generalized Fisk-type heliospheric magnetic field
(North-West University (South Africa), Potchefstroom Campus, 2016)
The existence of a Fisk-type heliospheric magnetic field (HMF) has been contested since the
Fisk field [Fisk, 1996] challenged the traditional view of the HMF first proposed by Parker
[1958]. Several modifications of the ...
The modulation of galactic cosmic rays over a solar cycle
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)
This work studied the modulation of galactic cosmic rays in the heliosphere by using a well-established,
time dependent numerical modulation model to calculate cosmic ray transport
inside the heliosphere over a solar ...
