Title:
SAMPEX - Yohkoh: Solar Modification of Relativistic Electrons in the Earth's Radiation Belts
Instrument:
SAMPEX/PET
Instrument:
Yohkoh
Description:
A comparison of energetic electron fluxes (> 0.4 MeV) over the North Pole from the PET P1 solid state detector during the period 7-19-1993 through 8-6-1994 with soft X-ray images from Yohkoh
Duration: 3.3 minutes
Abstract:
The Solar Anomalous and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer, SAMPEX, measures fluxes of energetic particles from the sun, the Earth's magnetosphere, and cosmic ray sources over a broad range of energies.

The four instruments aboard SAMPEX are the Low-Energy Ion Analyzer (LEICA), The Heavy Ion Large Telescope (HILT), The Mass Spectrometer Telescope (MAST), and the Proton-Electron Telescope (PET). The Soft X-ray Telescope on the Yohkoh satellite takes daily full-disk soft X-ray images of the Sun. Comparing datasets from the two satellites allows correlation of electron fluxes in the Earth's radiation belts with solar output.
