Long Term Solar Activity
In this chapter we discuss long term solar activity behavior. We first address the problem of how we can get longer time series of solar activity...

Sun-Earth Connections
The solar wind permeates the heliosphere and influences the near-Earth (“space weather”) environment. Space weather...

The Relativistic Electron-Proton Telescope (REPT) Investigation: Design, Operational Properties, and Science Highlights
The Relativistic Electron-Proton Telescope (REPT) instruments were designed to measure ∼2 to >18 MeV electrons and ∼18 to > 115 MeV protons as part...

The differential cosmic ray energy flux in the light of an ultrarelativistic generalized Lorentzian thermodynamics
The ultrarelativistic generalized Lorentzian quasi-equilibrium thermodynamic energy distribution is tentatively applied to the energy spectrum of...

Intensity of galactic cosmic rays in the early sun epoch
The process of heliospheric modulation of intensity of galactic cosmic rays is investigated by solving the transport equation. The spatial-energetic...

The multi-scale nature of the solar wind
The solar wind is a magnetized plasma and as such exhibits collective plasma behavior associated with its characteristic spatial and temporal scales....

On the Possibility of Particle Acceleration in Shock Waves in WR Nebulae
Based on the analogy between WR nebulae, on one hand, and the heliosphere and expanding remnants of supernovae, on the other, the differential fluxes...

Studies of the Distant Heliosphere Beyond Jupiter
There are three motivations for making energetic particle measurements in the outer heliosphere. (1) to understand how solar activity modulates the...

The effect of solar wind high-speed streams on the galactic cosmic rays intensity
The effect of high-speed recurrent solar wind streams from coronal holes on the galactic cosmic rays intensity is investigated. The distribution of...

Ten years of PAMELA in space
The PAMELA cosmic-ray detector was launched on June 15th 2006 on board the Russian Resurs-DK1 satellite, and during ten years of nearly continuous...

Ion Composition of the Earth’s Radiation Belts in the Range from 100 keV to \(100\mbox{ MeV}/\mbox{nucleon}\): Fifty Years of Research
Spatial, energy and angular distributions of ion fluxes in the Earth’s radiation belts (ERB) near the equatorial plane, at middle geomagnetic...

Contributions from changes in various solar indices in cycles 20–23 and 24 to the modulation of cosmic rays
The modulation of cosmic rays (CRs) observed at neutron monitors during the minimum, growth, maximum, and beginning of the decay of solar activity...

Impact of Supernovae on the Interstellar Medium and the Heliosphere
The effect of supernovae on their environment is discussed in general and on the heliosphere in particular. It is shown that supernovae generate...

Hydrodynamic Classification of Solar Wind Flows
At the present time, there is no generally accepted classification of the solar wind flows. There are various approaches to this problem depending on...

Corotating Shock Waves and the Solar-wind Source of Energetic Ion Abundances: Power Laws in \(A\)/\(Q\)
We find that element abundances in energetic ions accelerated by shock waves formed at corotating interaction regions (CIRs) mirror the abundances of...

Flicker-noise spectroscopy of the muon flux during heliospheric disturbances
Flicker-noise spectroscopy (FNS) is used to identify high energy phenomena on the Sun and in the heliosphere. Such processes as the generation of...
