Particle acceleration at the Sun and in the heliosphere

DV Reames - Space Science Reviews, 1999 - Springer
Energetic particles are accelerated in rich profusion at sites throughout the heliosphere.
They come from solar flares in the low corona, from shock waves driven outward by coronal …

Flare observations
