摘要:

我们探讨之间的联系,太阳高能粒子(SEPs)观察到在1 AU和大规模的扰动传播的太阳日冕,命名后的极紫外成像望远镜(EIT)的EIT波,跟踪横向扩张的日冕物质抛射(CME)。对第23太阳活动周(1997-2006)期间的179个SEP事件进行了SOHO/EIT波的全面搜索。87%的SEP事件伴有EIT波。为了测试EIT波是否在SEP加速中发挥作用,我们将它们在帕克螺旋足点处的外推到达时间与26个与地球没有直接磁连接的东部SEP事件中的粒子起始时间进行了比较。我们发现,质子事件的发生与这种情况基本一致。然而,在许多情况下,第一个近相对论电子被过早地发现。此外,电子一般只有弱各向异性的俯仰角分布。这对SEP被EIT波加速或在低日冕中的任何其他空间受限区域中加速的想法提出了问题。来自东半球的SEP事件中弱电子各向异性的存在表明,行星际空间中的传输过程,包括交叉场扩散,在使SEP获得广泛的helio-brides方面发挥了作用。

英文摘要:

We explore the link between solar energetic particles (SEPs) observed at 1 AU and large-scale disturbances propagating in the solar corona, named after the Extreme ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT) as EIT waves, which trace the lateral expansion of a coronal mass ejection (CME). A comprehensive search for SOHO/EIT waves was carried out for 179 SEP events during Solar Cycle 23 (1997-2006). 87% of the SEP events were found to be accompanied by EIT waves. In order to test if the EIT waves play a role in the SEP acceleration, we compared their extrapolated arrival time at the footpoint of the Parker spiral with the particle onset in the 26 eastern SEP events that had no direct magnetic connection to the Earth. We find that the onset of proton events was generally consistent with this scenario. However, in a number of cases the first near-relativistic electrons were detected too early. Furthermore, the electrons had in general only weakly anisotropic pitch-angle distributions. This poses a problem for the idea that the SEPs were accelerated by the EIT wave or in any other spatially confined region in the low corona. The presence of weak electron anisotropies in SEP events from the eastern hemisphere suggests that transport processes in interplanetary space, including cross-field diffusion, play a role in giving the SEPs access to a broad range of helio-longitudes.
