Solar Flare and Interplanetary Particle Acceleration and Coordination of Ground-Based Solar Observations in Support of U.S./International Space Missions

该项目的四个组成部分包括太阳耀斑中的粒子加速以及太阳地面观测的协调和发展。PI计划(1)扩展先前的分析，表明耀斑中特定的硬x射线光谱演化特征与高能行星际质子事件之间存在直接关系；(2)研究450个未采样耀斑的性质，以测试先前推导的质子预测算法；(3)探索这些事件的高能空间特征，以深入了解源的几何形状；(4)第22周期最大值期间收集的地址数据；(5)利用REU助手分析数据的快速光学波动和线性偏振特征。此外，该项目将协调地面观测与新的空间任务。最后，PI计划在一定程度上支持众多的观测活动

The four components of this project span particle acceleration in solar flares as well as the coordination and development of solar ground-based solar observations. The PI plans to (1) expand previous analyses showing a direct relationship between specific hard x-ray spectral evolution signatures in flares and high-energy interplanetary proton events; (2) examine properties of the 450 unsampled flares to test a proton prediction algorithm previously derived; (3) explore high energy spatial characteristics of these events to gain insight into source geometries; (4) address data collected during the maximum of cycle 22; and (5) employ an REU assistant in analyzing data for rapid optical fluctuations and linear polarization signatures. In addition, this project will coordinate ground-based observations in conjunction with new space missions. Finally, the PI plans to support, in part, numerous observing campaigns.***
