The streamer blowout origin of a flux rope and energetic particle event observed by Parker Solar Probe at 0.5 AU

Abstract

We acknowledge the NASA Parker Solar Probe mission team and the SWEAP team led by J. C. Kasper, the ISeIS team led by D. J. McComas, and the FIELDS team led by S. D. Bale, for the use of PSP data. The data used in this paper can be downloaded from spdf.gsfc.nasa.gov, www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/ASC/, and stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov. Parker Solar Probe was designed, built, and is now operated by the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory as part of NASA’s Living with a Star (LWS) program (contract NNN06AA01C). Support from the LWS management and technical team has played a critical role in the success of the Parker Solar Probe mission. Simulation results have been provided by the Community Coordinated Modeling Center at Goddard Space Flight Center through their public Runs on Request system (ccmc.gsfc.nasa. gov; run david_lario_012820_SH_1). The ENLIL-Cone Model was developed by D. Odstrcil of George Mason University. We thank the STEREO/SECCHI, STEREO/IMPACT, STEREO/ PLASTIC, SOHO/LASCO, and SDO/AIA teams and Predictive Science Inc. for providing the data used in this study. The STEREO SECCHI data are produced by a consortium of RAL (UK), NRL (USA), LMSAL (USA), GSFC (USA), MPS (Germany), CSL (Belgium), IOTA (France), and IAS (France). SOHO is a mission of international cooperation between ESA and NASA. The SDO/AIA data are provided by the Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) Science Data Processing (SDP). We acknowledge all of the science instrument teams for making their data used in this paper available. This work utilizes data produced collaboratively between the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the National Solar Observatory (NSO). The ADAPT model development is supported by AFRL. We appreciate the reviewer’s comprehensive reading of the article. This work was partially supported under NASA contract NNN06AA01C. D.L. was also supported by NASA-HGI grant NNX16AF73G and NASA/LWS grant NNX15AD03G. L.J. acknowledges support from the NASA Program NNH16ZDA001N-HSR and NNH17ZDA001-HSR. D.L., L.B., and I.R. acknowledge the support from the NASA Program NNH17ZDA001N-LWS.
