Medium ion increases, solar flares, and sector boundaries

  • 1. Kansas Univ., Lawrence (USA). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

We have found that flux enhancements of approximately 1 MeV/nuc interplanetary medium nuclei occur preferentially near interplanetary magnetic field sector boundaries. We believe that these particle increases may ultimately be of flare origin; access of these particles to an observer at 1 AU might depend strongly on the nearby presence of a sector boundary
