We also note that the low density plasma occurrence rates in the current solar cycle have, at least temporarily, exceeded those in Cycles 21 and 22, suggesting that this cycle may be more like Cycle 20 from the point of vie ...

Observing the Solar Spectrum
... The Sun is the most prominent feature in our solar system. It supports all the planets and life forms in our solar system. The energy from the Sun that sustains us is created deep within the core of the Sun. The temperature and pressure there is much greater than on Earth and is the perfect conditio ...

At any one time there is about 0.1 solar masses in the gain region absorbing a few percent of the neutrino lumi ...

Coronal magnetic topology and the production of solar impulsive

The solar particle release (SPR) times of SIEEs are derived by using their velocity dispersion with consideration of the instrumental effect. It ...

Advanced Composition Explorer
Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) is a NASA Explorers program Solar and space exploration mission to study matter comprising energetic particles from the solar wind, the interplanetary medium, and other sources. Real-time data from ACE is used by the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center to improve forecasts and warnings of solar storms. The ACE robotic spacecraft was launched August 25, 1997 and entered a Lissajous orbit close to the L1 Lagrangian point (which lies between the Sun and the Earth at a distance of some 1.5 million km from the latter) on December 12, 1997. The spacecraft is currently operating at that orbit. Because ACE is in a non-Keplerian orbit, and has regular station-keeping maneuvers, the orbital parameters at right are only approximate. The spacecraft is still in generally good condition in 2015, and is projected to have enough fuel to maintain its orbit until 2024. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center managed the development and integration of the ACE spacecraft.
