Scientific paper
The observational and theoretical work on heliospheric shocks and cosmic rays in the recent past is surveyed. The data have come mainly from spacecraft in the regions from 0.3-25 AU, and include detection of particles and plasma waves upstream of the earth's bow shock. The theory of shock acceleration is reviewed, together with analytical models of energetic particle enhancement in association with shocks or shocks within the heliosphere. It has been determined that shocks in the heliosphere are associated with energetic suprathermal particles, which are conversely all associated with shocks. Solar cosmic rays and other anomalous components are therefore accelerated by shocks, a factor that is significant for studies of the acceleration mechanisms for galactic cosmic rays. The Solar Polar Mission will provide data on all solar latitudes, and the ISEE-3 spacecraft will continue to gather information on shock accelerated ions in travelling interplanetary shock waves.
