PITCH-ANGLE ANISOTROPY AND DIFFERENTIAL RIGIDITY SPECTRA OF COSMIC RAYS DURING GLE ON MAY 2 AND 6, 1998
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2022, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
Using data from the worldwide network of neutron monitors (39 stations) and the method of global spectrographic survey, we have studied pitch-angle anisotropy and differential rigidity spectra of cosmic rays during the ground level enhancements on May 2 and 6, 1998. We obtained differential rigidity spectra of solar cosmic rays in these events and determined the maximum rigidities to which protons accelerated. The maximum rigidities of accelerated protons during the ground level enhancements on May 2 was ~2.4; on May 6, ~1.8 GV. The revealed bidirectional pitch-angle anisotropy indicates that Earth was in the IMF loop structure during these events.

SIMULATION STUDY OF THE ENERGETIC NEUTRAL ATOM (ENA) IMAGING MONITORING OF THE GEOMAGNETOSPHERE ON A LUNAR BASE
Since the moon’s revolution cycle is exactly the same as its rotation cycle, we can only see the moon always facing Earth in the same direction. Based on the clean particle radiation environment of the moon, a neutral at...
CALIBRATION OF SIBERIAN RADIOHELIOGRAPH IMAGES
We discuss the method for automatic calibration of solar radio images derived from the first stage of the multiwave Siberian Radioheliograph (SRH-48). SRH is a 48-element T-shaped radiointerferometer in the 4–8 GHz frequ...
Solar activity and Earth seismicity
Using the results of continuous long-term observations over 50 years (including solar cycles 20–24), we study the relationship between Earth’s seismicity and solar activity. An increase in the number of strong earthquake...
STUDYING THE RELATIONSHIP OF LOCALIZATION PARAMETERS OF SOLAR SOURCES OF MAGNETIC CLOUDS WITH THEIR CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTORM ACTIVITY
We propose a method for determining location and orientation of extended solar sources of magnetic clouds, using coronagraph data and SOHO EIT/MDI images of the photosphere. To estimate the probability of formation of ma...
