Elemental composition of solar energetic nuclei

Creators

Abstract

It is found for four major solar-flare events that the average solar energetic particle (SEP) abundances are similar to abundances in the solar wind and to recent coronal measurements. The average SEP and galactic cosmic-ray source abundances are also similar for elements with nuclear charge in the range 8≤ Z ≤ 28, but are different for helium, carbon, and nitrogen.
