Enhancements of the comic-ray intensity as observed by detectors on the ground have been observed 71 times since 1942. They are due to solar energetic particles accelerated in the regions of solar flares deep in the corona, or in the shock…
Ground level enhancements (GLEs) are relativistic sol particles measured at ground level by a worldwide network of cosmic ray detectors. These sporadic events are associated with solar flares and are assumed to be of a quasi-random nature.…
The radio pulse from a pulsar can be temporally broadened by multipath scattering in the interstellar medium and by instrumental effects within the radio telescope. The observed pulse shape is a convolution of the intrinsic one with the…
Ground Level Enhancements (GLEs) probe the earliest, highest-energy solar energetic particles and thus provide a unique window onto particle release and transport from the low corona to 1 AU. We present a uniform, event-resolved analysis of…

As a result of spherical kinematics, temporal evolution of received gamma-ray emission should demonstrate signatures of curvature from the emitting shell. Specifically, the shape of the pulse decay must bear a strict dependence on the…

Ground level enhancements (GLEs) are extreme solar energetic particle (SEP) events that are of particular importance in space weather. In solar cycle 24, two GLEs were recorded on 2012 May 17 (GLE 71) and 2017 September 10 (GLE 72),…
