Suprathermal particles from corotating interaction regions during the first perihelion pass of Solar Orbiter

R. C. Allen et al.

Summary: The first orbit of Solar Orbiter provided comprehensive measurements of six corotating interaction regions (CIRs) within 1 au, with comparisons of suprathermal ion intensities and spectra at different radial distances with ACE observations. Only subtle modulations of He-4 spectral slopes were observed between Solar Orbiter and ACE, and similar radial gradients were found in He-4 ion intensities compared to 1.53 MeV H reported in previous studies. These observations contribute to understanding the radial dependence of CIR-associated suprathermal ions in the inner heliosphere.

3He-rich solar energetic particle events observed on the first perihelion pass of Solar Orbiter

G. M. Mason et al.

Summary: During the first perihelion pass of the Solar Orbiter mission, five impulsive solar energetic particle events were observed within 1 au, showing characteristics similar to previously observed events. Despite their small size, three events showed fast ion rise times and two events exhibited long-lasting anisotropies consistent with the Compton-Getting effect.

A new view of energetic particles from stream interaction regions observed by Parker Solar Probe

N. A. Schwadron et al.

Summary: Early observations from PSP's first orbit reveal recurrent stream interaction regions near the Sun and the presence of energetic particle enhancements. The long duration of energetic particle enhancements suggests direct streaming of particles along magnetic field lines forming a sub-Parker spiral structure.

Solar Orbiter observations of the structure of reconnection outflow layers in the solar wind

C. J. Owen et al.

Summary: This study re-examines the existing model of the structure of reconnection layers in solar wind events, proposing the existence of multiple distinct layers around bifurcated current sheets. Evidence from a case study using Solar Orbiter data supports this concept, but further detailed examination is needed for full confirmation.

The first widespread solar energetic particle event observed by Solar Orbiter on 2020 November 29

A. Kollhoff et al.

Summary: The first widespread solar energetic particle event of solar cycle 25 was observed on November 29, 2020, with particles spreading over more than 230 degrees in longitude near 1AU. The delay in particle onset at different spacecraft was found to be related to the flare-footpoint angle, consistent with previous observations. Anisotropic particle distributions observed at SolO, Wind, and STEREO-A suggest involvement of diffusive propagation processes near the Sun.

High-cadence measurements of electron pitch-angle distributions from Solar Orbiter SWA-EAS burst mode operations

C. J. Owen et al.

Summary: Small-scale kinetic processes like turbulence, plasma instabilities, and magnetic reconnection are crucial for dissipating energy and shaping the large-scale evolution of the solar wind. The limitations on measurement frequencies of particle instruments have hindered the understanding of solar wind kinetic physics. The new measurement scheme discussed in this paper offers a way to obtain detailed electron velocity distribution functions in real-time, providing a new tool for studying the kinetic processes of the solar wind.

A Self-consistent Simulation of Proton Acceleration and Transport Near a High-speed Solar Wind Stream

Nicolas Wijsen et al.

Summary: The study reports the results of a simulation of a SIR event, finding that energetic particle enhancements are produced at compression waves associated with solar activities, with the suprathermal tail of the solar wind serving as a potential seed population for particle acceleration. Additionally, the study indicates that the acceleration process does not necessarily require shock waves, and the distribution of energetic particles is strongly modulated by the three-dimensional configuration of the solar wind streams.
