Description

Using the GSFC-UNH cosmic ray telescope on Pioneer 10 and 11 we have examined solar cosmic ray events out to a distance approximately 5 AU from the sun. Here we consider two aspects of this work, both related to our anisotropy studies. First, a detailed error analysis of the cosine fit to the anisotropy is presented. Second, we look at the anisotropy and intensity time characteristics during solar events as a function of radial distance. (orig.)

Abstract (German)

Kosmische Strahlungsereignisse wurden bis zu einer Entfernung von ungefaehr 5 AU von der Sonne mit Hilfe der kosmischen Strahlungsteleskope GSFC-UNH an Bord von Pioneer 10 und 11 untersucht. An dieser Stelle werden zwei Aspekte dieser Arbeit betrachtet, die beide mit unseren Anisotropie-Untersuchungen im Zusammenhang stehen. Zunaechst wird eine detaillierte Analyse der Kosinusanpassung an die Anisotropie vorgelegt. Dann werden Anisotropie und Intensitaetszeitmerkmale waehrend solarer Ereignisse in Anhaengigkeit von der radialen Entfernung betrachtet. (orig.)
