Journal ArticleDOI
The formation heights of coronal shocks from 2D density and Alfvén speed maps
TL;DR: In this article, the super-Alfvenic shocks associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can produce radio emission known as Type II bursts, and the 2D electron density, magnetic field and speed maps are used to determine the locations that shocks are excited as the CME expands through the corona.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deriving the properties of coronal pressure fronts in 3d: application to the 2012 may 17 ground level enhancement
Alexis P. Rouillard,Alexis P. Rouillard,I. Plotnikov,I. Plotnikov,Rui F. Pinto,Rui F. Pinto,Margot Tirole,Margot Tirole,Michael Lavarra,Michael Lavarra,Pietro Zucca,Rami Vainio,A. J. Tylka,Angelos Vourlidas,M. De Rosa,Jon A. Linker,Alexander Warmuth,Gottfried Mann,Christina Cohen,R. A. Mewaldt +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the link between an expanding coronal shock and the energetic particles measured near Earth during the ground level enhancement of 2012 May 17, and developed a new technique based on multipoint imaging to triangulate the three-dimensional (3D) expansion of the shock forming in the corona.
Journal ArticleDOI
The formation heights of coronal shocks from 2D density and Alfv\'en speed maps
TL;DR: In this paper, a super-Alfvenic shock wave associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can produce radio emission known as Type II bursts, and the locations that shocks are excited as the CME expands through the corona.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quasiperiodic acceleration of electrons by a plasmoid-driven shock in the solar atmosphere
Eoin P. Carley,David Long,Jason P. Byrne,Pietro Zucca,D. Shaun Bloomfield,Joseph McCauley,Peter T. Gallagher +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of measurements from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and radiospectroscopy data from the Nancay Radioheliograph was used to connect coronal mass ejections from the sun and the acceleration of particles to relativistic speeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deriving the properties of coronal pressure fronts in 3-D: application to the 17 May 2012 ground level enhancement
Alexis P. Rouillard,Illya Plotnikov,Rui Pinto,Margot Tirole,Michael Lavarra,Pietro Zucca,Rami Vainio,Allan J. Tylka,Angelos Vourlidas,Marc L. De Rosa,Jon A. Linker,Alexander Warmuth,Gottfried Mann,Christina Cohen,Robert A. Mewaldt +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the link between an expanding coronal shock and the energetic particles measured near Earth during the Ground Level Enhancement (GLE) of 17 May 2012 and developed a new technique based on multipoint imaging to triangulate the 3D expansion of the shock forming in the corona.
