Shocks in the Corona and Inner Heliosphere: Implications for Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter
Abstract
Shocks in the solar corona and inner heliosphere are thought to be a location of acceleration for Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs). Using energetic particle transport code, 3-D MHD simulations, in-situ and remote imaging data, links between the acceleration and propagation of the particles from the Sun out to the Earth can be studied. These types of multi-spacecraft and multi-method studies will be key to understanding the data from Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter. The required observations in terms of science payload of the mission will be discussed. In addition, theoretical and modeling work that is necessary to better understand the observations will also be highlighted.
