1 Solar System Science Flares and Solar Energetic Particles Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes Cosmic-ray interactions with Earth, Sun, Moon, etc. Plans: Optimization of GLAST flare response Solar Physics paper on GLAST capabilities

2 GLAST Solar Flare Response GLAST launch late in solar minimum Rise in solar activity 2008-9; peak 2010-2014. (But remember 20 January 2005 flare—later discussion) Possible Solar Flare Mode Activate overall solar-flare capability when probability for X-class flare exceeds 5% in a 24 day period GBM trigger: Soft- spectrum burst detected <20 degrees from Sun; detectable flux > 1 MeV

3 GLAST action: ACD veto disabled Sun < 70 deg from Z-axis – Data analyzed from 4 central towers below first 4(?) layers. Return to normal mode in 1000 s or when GBM solar-side BGO rate < R. Sun >70 deg from Z-axis Calorimeter trigger: lowered energy threshold (~100 MeV). Return to normal mode in 1000 s or when GBM solar-side BGO rate < R.

4 Hardest flare ever detected in space. (near solar minimum!!)

6 Milagro Observation of >10 GeV Particles from Sun on 20 Jan 2005 GOES proton data >10 MeV >50 MeV >100 MeV Milagro scaler data > 10 GeV protons ~1 min rise-time ~5 min duration Milagro Observed > 10 GeV from the Solar Energetic Particle events on 6 November 1997 14 July 2000 15 April 2001 20 January 2005

7 2005 January 20 Gamma Ray Spectrum at Peak Very hard accelerated particle spectrum, s ~ 2.2, from annihilation and neutron capture line comparison. Lines?? RHESSI

8 Nuclear continuum dominates for hard spectra, masking the discrete lines. Just statistics or something fundamental? RHESSI SMM

9 7:01 UT X7.1 N14W61 Coronas-F Song

10 Pion peak?

11 Coronas observed pion radiation here. Is the long 511 keV flux tail due to newly revealed radioactive material?

12 Terrestrial flashes observed by RHESSI (David Smith) 1 ms duration; associated with lightening (sprites); discovered by BATSE; tens per day globally.

13 Summed TGF spectrum extending up to ~20 MeV; GLAST observations of Earth’s atmosphere?
