Jovian electrons serve as an important test-particle distribution in the inner heliosphere and have been used extensively in the past to study the (diffusive) transport of cosmic rays in the inner heliosphere. With new limits on the Jovian source function (i.e. the particle intensity just outside the Jovian magnetosphere), and a new set of in-situ observations at 1 AU for both cases of good and poor magnetic connection between the source and observer, we revisit some of these earlier simulations. We aim to find the optimal numerical set-up that can be used to simulate the propagation of 6 MeV Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere. Using such a set-up, we further aim to study the residence (propagation) times of these particles for different levels of magnetic connection between Jupiter and an observer at Earth (1 AU). Using an advanced Jovian electron propagation model based on the stochastic differential equation (SDE) approach, we calculate the Jovian electron intensity for different model parameters. A comparison with observations leads to an optimal numerical set-up, which is then used to calculate the so-called residence (propagation) times of these particles. Comparing to in-situ observations, we are able to derive transport parameters that are appropriate to study the propagation of 6 MeV Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere. Moreover, using these values, we show that the method of calculating the residence time applied in former literature is not suited to being interpreted as the propagation time of physical particles. This is due to an incorrect weighting of the probability distribution. We propose and apply a new method, where the results from each pseudo-particle are weighted by its resulting phase-space density (i.e. the number of physical particles that it represents). Thereby we obtain more reliable estimates for the propagation time.
Observations of magnetic clouds (MCs) are consistent with the presence of flux ropes detected in the solar wind (SW) a few days after their expulsion from the Sun as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). Both the textit{in situ} observations of plasma veloc
The anisotropy of solar wind turbulence is a critical issue in understanding the physics of energy transfer between scales and energy conversion between fields and particles in the heliosphere. Using the measurement of emph{Parker Solar Probe} (emph{
The slow solar wind is typically characterized as having low Alfvenicity. However, Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed predominately Alfvenic slow solar wind during several of its initial encounters. From its first encounter observations, about 55.3% o
The scaling of the turbulent spectra provides a key measurement that allows to discriminate between different theoretical predictions of turbulence. In the solar wind, this has driven a large number of studies dedicated to this issue using in-situ da
The first computation of the compressible energy transfer rate from $sim$ 0.2 AU up to $sim$ 1.7 AU is obtained using PSP, THEMIS and MAVEN observations. The compressible energy cascade rate $varepsilon_C$ is computed for hundred of events at differe
