Hardback. Series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library. Num Pages: 241 pages, 107 black & white illustrations, 83 colour illustrations, 60 colour tables, biography. BIC Classification: PGK; PHP; PHVB; TTDS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 16. Weight in Grams: 543.
This monograph traces the development of our understanding of how and where energetic particles are accelerated in the heliosphere and how they may reach the Earth. Detailed data sets are presented which address these topics. The bulk of the observations are from spacecraft in or near the ecliptic plane. It is timely to present this subject now that Voyager-1 has entered the true interstellar medium. Since it seems unlikely that there will be a follow-on to the Voyager programme any time soon, the data we already have regarding the outer heliosphere are not going to be enhanced for at least ...

About George M. Simnett
George Simnett obtained his Ph D from Imperial College, London in 1966, having started there in 1961. This was the dawn of the space age. In 1967 he moved to Goddard Space Flight Center where he worked on the energetic particle data from IMP-4 and IMP=5. In 1969 he went as Assistant Professor to the University of California, ...

Reviews for Energetic Particles in the Heliosphere
“The book provides an excellent overview of our current knowledge of energetic charged particles in heliosphere. It brings out the complexity of these data and highlights the challenges that we face when interpreting these data against our still-limited theoretical understanding of how the heliosphere work.” (Mike Hapgood, The Observatory, April, 2018)
