[ Ссылка ]- Here we present one of the NASA GSFC Space Weather FAQ Interviews - "What are solar energetic particles (SEP)?"
NASA scientists answer some frequently asked questions about the sun, space weather, and the effects on Earth. Each video is one or more scientists responding to the question above it.
The scientists interviewed are:
Dr. Holly Gilbert, NASA Heliophysicist
Dr. Alex Young, NASA Heliophysicist
Dr. Phil Chamberlin, NASA Research Heliophysicist and SDO Deputy Project Scientist
Phil: Solar energetic particles are particles of plasma that are accelerated at the flare site from the energy released in the flare. And these particles can be accelerated up to almost 80% of the speed of light. Holly: And a coronal mass ejection when it's traveling so fast creates a shock and that can create solar energetic particles.
