Magnetosphere X3 Flare Dec 13, 2006

Okay with this post I will take you all back in time as I have re created the events that took place over a period of December 13,14,15,16. This was the Last Large Solar Energetic Particle Event of Solar Cycle 23. Spot AR930 Decemebr 13 2006 An X3 flare of early Dec 13, 2006 also produced a CME that was Earth-directed . So with this video we see the effects on the Magnetosphere by a X3 flare to compare the activity to recent Magnetosphere activities

An X3 flare of early Dec 13, 2006 also produced a CME which wasEarth-directed large geomagnetic storm activity followed , indicators that can be measured in the vicinity of the Sun suggested a fast arrival and long-duration storm were possible. Magnetic Field polarity over the course of CME passage determines the ability of the CME to couple with the Earths magnetic field and produce storm activity and is a more definitive but strictly short-term

Another measure that is commonly used to identify flare material is the He/'He
ratio. Using 0.52 MeV/nucleon data from the ULEIS instrument the He/''He ratio for
the first event was determined to be 0.0011 0.0005 while analysis of the second
event resulted in an upper limit of 0.001. At higher energies, SIS data from 8-15
MeV/n provide only upper limits of 0.01 for both events. These results are rather
surprising as many events with enhanced Fe/0 abundances also have enrichments in
^He/'He over the solar wind value of 5 x lO""* [9,10,15], thus one would expect the Ferich
December 13 event to have an enhanced ^He/''He ratio. However, the November
6, 1997 event, which is most compositionally similar to the December 13 event, had a
He/'He ratio of 0.0021 0.0008, only a factor of 4 above the solar wind value

Thanks for making this video,found it really intresting..and your comments on your channel page are right on! :) Cheers mate
