Energetic Particles in the Heliosphere

  • Chapter
Space Physics

Part of the book series: Advanced Texts in Physics ((ADTP))

Abstract

Particles in interplanetary space come from sources as diverse as the Sun, the planets, and the vastness of the galaxy. The properties of the different particle populations provide information about the acceleration mechanism(s) and the propagation between source and observer. Thus energetic particles can also be used as probes for the properties of the interplanetary medium. To describe acceleration and propagation, we use concepts such as reconnection, acceleration at shock waves, and wave—particle interactions.

The space between Heaven and Earth — is it not like a bellow? It is empty and yet not depleted; Move it and more always comes out.

Lao-Tzu, Tao Te Ching
