关于SEP电子谱的形状:行星际传输的作用

On the shape of SEP electron spectra: The role of interplanetary transport

R. Du Toit Strauss, Nina Dresing, Alexander Kollhoff, Maximillian Brüdern

摘要:

我们解决粒子散射对太阳高能电子事件的能谱的影响,使用i)观测和ii)建模方法。我们利用SEPT仪器在45 - 425 keV范围内进行的定向电子测量,对STEREO航天器的观测进行了统计研究。我们比较了反向向日传播光束的能谱和后向散射粒子数的能谱,发现平均而言,后向散射粒子数的能谱更硬,能量越高,其影响越强。ii)我们使用数值SEP传输模型来模拟粒子散射(在俯仰角和垂直于平均场方面)对光谱的影响。我们发现,俯仰角散射可以导致光谱的变化,在更高的能量(E $>100$ keV)和更远离太阳(r $> 1$ au),也经常观察到。在较低的能量,更接近太阳的俯仰角散射的影响大大减少,使模拟的能谱仍然类似于注入的幂律函数。当检查俯仰角相关的光谱,我们发现,在协议的观测结果,向后传播的电子的光谱比向前(从太阳)传播的人口更难。{We结论是,{ \it太阳轨道器}和{ \it帕克太阳探测器}将能够在更高的能量下观测到靠近太阳的未调制的全向SEP电子光谱,从而直接指示加速光谱。}

英文摘要:

We address the effect of particle scattering on the energy spectra of solar energetic electron events using i) an observational and ii) a modeling approach. i) We statistically study observations of the STEREO spacecraft making use of directional electron measurements made with the SEPT instrument in the range of 45 -- 425 keV. We compare the energy spectra of the anti-sunward propagating beam with that one of the backward scattered population and find that, on average, the backward scattered population shows a harder spectrum with the effect being stronger at higher energies. ii) We use a numerical SEP transport model to simulate the effect of particle scattering (both in terms of pitch-angle and perpendicular to the mean field) on the spectrum. We find that pitch-angle scattering can lead to spectral changes at higher energies (E $>100$ keV) and further away from the Sun (r $> 1$ au) which are also often observed. At lower energies, and closer to the Sun the effect of pitch-angle scattering is much reduced so that the simulated energy spectra still resemble the injected power-law functions. When examining pitch-angle dependent spectra, we find, in agreement with the observational results, that the spectra of the backward propagating electrons are harder than that of the forward (from the Sun) propagating population. {We conclude that {\it Solar Orbiter} and {\it Parker Solar Probe} will be able to observe the unmodulated omni-directional SEP electron spectrum close to the Sun at higher energies, giving a direct indication of the accelerated spectrum. }
