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.

MEASUREMENT OF ENERGY DISTRIBUTION FOR LOW POWER NANOFLARES
We propose a method to measure the energy distribution of low-energy flares (nanoflares) in the energy range below 1023 erg. As an example, we measured the spectrum of nanoflares in the 1021–1026 erg range for two Sun’s...
Observations of coronal holes with the Siberian Radioheliograph
Multi-wavelength observations of a coronal hole (CH) with two-dimensional spatial resolution have been made for the first time in the frequency range from 2.8 to 12 GHz. At frequencies below 6 GHz, the average brightness...
