On January 27, 2012, an X-class flare brightened on the Sun at 18:15 UT. This event was associated with the generation of a high-energy stream of Solar Energetic Particles (SEPs) advancing along the Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) which arrived at Mars in about 39 minutes. A Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) arrived at Mars several days later. The E…

An X-class flare on 27 January 2012 generated a high-energy particle stream advancing along the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) which arrived at Mars in about 39 minutes, with a coronal mass ejection (CME) released from the same active region arriving at Mars several days later. The Electron Spectrometer (ELS), part of the Analyzer of Space Pl…
