Owing to our dependance on spaceborne technology, an awareness of disturbances in the near-Earth space environment is proving to be increasingly crucial. Earth-directed Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) emanating from the Sun are the primary... more
The main data on observations of the Sun, interplanetary medium, and magnetosphere, obtained mainly by home researchers during the strongest magnetic storm of November 20, 2003 (Dst=-472 nT), are presented in the work. This period... more
We have developed a new three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) solar wind model coupled to the Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) that solves for the different electron and proton temperatures. The collisions between the... more

In this work we study the temporal variation of the heliospheric termination shock radius using in-ecliptic combined measurements from different spacecraft at 1 AU near the Earth. The results show that the radius of the heliospheric... more
AbstractDuring the Earth swing-by of the Cassini spacecraft, a worldwide program of data-gathering was undertaken to define the prevailing interplanetary and geophysical conditions. This included observations of the interplanetary medium,... more

Major solar eruptive events consisting of both a large flare and a near simultaneous large fast coronal mass ejection (CME), are the most powerful explosions and also the most powerful and energetic particle accelerators in the solar... more
Commission 49 covers research on the solar wind, shocks and particle acceleration, both transient and steady-state, e.g., corotating, structures within the heliosphere, and the termination shock and boundary of the heliosphere. During the... more
Fast CME/shocks propagating in the interplane-tary medium can generate kilometric Type II (km-TII) radioemissions at the local plasma frequency and/or its harmonic,so these radio emissions provide a means of remotely track-ing... more
We study the propagation of coronal mass ejections (CMES) from near the Sun to 1 AU by comparing results from two different models: a 1-D, hydrodynamic, single-fluid, numerical model (González-Esparza et al., 2003a) and an analytical... more
The notion that plasma shocks in astrophysical settings can and do accelerate charged particles to high energies is not a new one. However, in recent years considerable progress has been achieved in understanding the role particle... more
Since its switch-on in Oct. 90, the Kiel Electron Telescope onboard Ulysses has detected many quiet time increases of the flux of 3-30 MeV electrons, known to originate from Jupiter. We report on the long term variations of this flux for... more
