We have made observations of 98 low-Galactic-latitude pulsars to measure pulse broadening caused by multipath propagation through the interstellar medium. Data were collected with the 305-m Arecibo telescope at four radio frequencies…

We present the results of analyses of the ground level enhancements (GLEs) of cosmic ray (CR) events of 29 September 1989; 15 April 2001 and 20 January 2005. This involve examination of hourly raw CR counts of an array of neutron monitors…

We have performed numerical simulations of the interplanetary transport of solar cosmic rays. The particles form a coherent pulse within $\sim0.01$ AU after their injection. The gradual decrease of a pulse's speed and anisotropy can be…
