Inner magnetosphere variations after Solar Proton Events. Observations on Mir space station in 1989–1994 time period

Measurements on board the Mir space station have been used to study the dose rate and the particle flux distribution in the inner magnetosphere.

Description
Summary:Measurements on board the Mir space station have been used to study the dose rate and the particle flux distribution in the inner magnetosphere. The measurements have been performed with the Bulgarian-Russian dosimeter-radiometer Liulin. The paper concentrates on the dynamics of the observed “new” and “second” maxima which were created after Solar Proton Events (SPE) in the 1989–1994 time. The “second” belt was first observed after the SPE on October 20, 1989, and the last observation was after the SPE on February 20, 1994. The creation of the “new” belt is a unique phenomena seen in the Liulin data set after the SPE on March 23, 1991 and relates to the magnetic storm on March 24. The new belt fully disappears in the middle of 1993.
