FluX is...2

=====================

++++++++++++++++++

AbstractHelios 1 observed a magnetic cloud on the

spacecraft’s closest approach to the

Sun (0.3 AU) on March 26, 1976.

Fluxes of energetic particles

detected by the spacecraft

generally decrease during

the passage of a cloud,

but in this case the

smooth intensity

depression was

interrupted by

a sharp

peak

-like

increase

coinciding

with a deep drop

of the magnetic field

magnitude. This behavior

is observed for protons and

electrons in several energy bands.

A possible explanation of this event

is given by the spheroidal model of magnetic

clouds, applicable for the plasmoid geometry
