Observations of a Solar Energetic Particle Event From Inside and Outside the Coma of Comet 67P

Abstract: We analyze observations of an SEP event at Rosetta's target comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during March 6th-10th 2015. The comet was 2.15AU from the Sun, with the Rosetta spacecraft approximately 70km from the nucleus placing it deep inside the comet's coma and allowing us to study its response. The Eastern flank of an ICME also encountered Rosetta on March 6th and 7th. Rosetta's RPC data indicate increases in ionization rates, and cometary water group pickup ions exceeding 1keV. Increased charge exchange rea… Show more

“…Nowadays, this dichotomy has become more blurred, as both flares and CMEs are able to contribute to SEP acceleration within a single event (e.g., Cane et al, 2010;Trottet et al, 2015). Significant progress in understanding SEP acceleration and transport has been achieved owing to multi-point measurements, which have allowed the study of, e.g., the broad longitudinal distribution of so-called widespread events (e.g., Xie et al, 2017;Kollhoff et al, 2021;Dresing et al, 2023), how the local heliospheric conditions may facilitate or hinder the transport of particles up to a given location (e.g., Richardson & Cane, 1996;Lario & Karelitz, 2014;Bain et al, 2016;Palmerio et al, 2021), as well as the longitudinal and/or radial variation of SEP profiles and properties (e.g., Rouillard et al, 2012;Cohen et al, 2014;Lario et al, 2016;Wellbrock et al, 2022). In addition to providing a wealth of data for the development and refinement of theories of particle acceleration and transport, multi-point observations of SEPs are also crucial for validating modelling efforts, since they conveniently provide results at multiple locations that can test the predictions of a single simulation run.…”
