Abstract

The results of multiyear investigations of cosmogenic radionuclide production rates along the orbits of 42 chondrites, fallen successively to the Earth in 1959-2016 are presented. They constitute a long set of homogeneous data, statistical smoothing of which demonstrates some main regularities of distribution and variation of the galactic cosmic rays (GCR) with energy > 100 MeV in the internal (< 5 AU) heliosphere. This set is exclusive, and it has timeless importance for all the future investigations of magneto-hydrodynamic peculiarities of the GCR solar modulation mechanism. Analysis of 26Al contents in 10 chondrites of known orbits allowed us to educe a spatial profile of the GCR intensity (E > 100 MeV), averaged over a 1 My in the internal heliosphere, testifying to permanent development and dissipation of a layer of the solar wind magnetic irregularities, which efficiently modulates cosmic radiation. It suggests a constancy of magneto-hydrodynamic environment in the Solar system at least for the last million years.
