In the current article we find that extending that least-squares fits for C - Fe down to H at A/Q = 1 lends much more credence to the power laws, even though H itself was not included in the fits. We also investigate the extent of an adiabatically invariant \"reservoir\" of magnetically-trapped particles behind the shock wave in this event.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-04-25T20:20:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "solar energetic particles", "element abundances", "mass-to-charge ratio a/q", "multi-spacecraft study", "least-squares fits" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
