The pith

Magnetic connections to different parts of a distorted CME shock explain why Solar Orbiter saw much higher SEP fluxes than Earth and STA in the 2023 February 24 event.

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The paper examines a solar energetic particle event where spacecraft close in space showed large differences in particle fluxes, contrary to the expectation that better-connected observers see higher intensities. It shows that the CME-driven shock became inhomogeneous, with a stronger nose and weaker flanks, due to its origin near a coronal streamer. A stream interaction region caused the magnetic footpoints of the spacecraft to be separated by more than their actual positions, leading Solar Orbiter to connect to the efficient acceleration region at the shock nose while the others connected to weaker areas. Simulations using AWSoM-R for the MHD and M-FLAMPA for particles reproduce the observations, indicating that shock structure and connectivity details dominate over simple radial or angular expectations.

Core claim

The counterintuitive higher fluxes at Solar Orbiter result from its magnetic connection to the nose of the CME-driven shock, which has a higher compression ratio and more efficient particle acceleration, whereas Earth and STA connect to the weaker flank regions of the same distorted shock, even though the spacecraft are separated by less than 30 degrees in longitude.

What carries the argument

The inhomogeneous CME-driven shock with varying compression ratios across its nose and flanks, combined with magnetic footpoint mapping altered by a nearby stream interaction region.

Load-bearing premise

The global MHD simulation and particle transport model correctly reproduce the actual magnetic field connections and the shock's compression ratios at the times and locations of the spacecraft.

What would settle it

Direct measurements or independent modeling showing that the shock compression ratio at Solar Orbiter's connected region was not higher than at the others, or that the flux differences persist even with uniform connectivity.

read the original abstract

For solar energetic particles (SEPs), it is generally expected that observers magnetically closer to the eruption source region exhibit higher particle intensities than those poorly connected to the eruption site. However, the 2023 February 24 SEP event departs from this simple picture: Earth and STA, near 1 au, are nominally better connected to the source region, whereas Solar Orbiter (SolO), at 0.77 au but less favorably connected, observed SEP fluxes more than an order of magnitude higher. This difference cannot be simply explained by nominal magnetic connectivity or radial scaling of SEP fluxes alone. To investigate this behavior, we perform a global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the associated coronal mass ejection (CME) using the Alfv\'{e}n Wave Solar-atmosphere Model-Realtime (AWSoM-R). The simulation reveals that the CME flux rope originates close to a coronal streamer and as it propagates and expands, the CME-driven shock is effectively distorted, developing into two distinct flanks with different strengths. Although the three spacecraft are separated by only $\lesssim$30$^{\circ}$ in heliolongitude, their magnetic footpoints differ by $\gtrsim$50$^{\circ}$ in longitude because of a nearby stream interaction region. Specifically, Earth and STA connect to a weaker shock region, while SolO connects to the shock nose with a higher compression ratio and more efficient particle acceleration. We further simulate SEPs using the Multiple-Field-Line Advection Model for Particle Acceleration (M-FLAMPA) coupled with AWSoM-R, obtaining results that reproduce the observed flux differences among the three spacecraft, demonstrating that this counterintuitive behavior results from their connections to different regions of the inhomogeneous CME-driven shock.

Referee Report

2 major / 2 minor

Summary. The paper examines the 2023 February 24 SEP event in which SolO at 0.77 au observed fluxes more than an order of magnitude higher than Earth and STA despite nominally poorer magnetic connection to the source. AWSoM-R global MHD simulation of the CME shows that a nearby stream interaction region shifts the spacecraft footpoints by ≳50° in longitude, placing SolO on the nose of an inhomogeneous CME-driven shock (higher compression) while Earth and STA connect to weaker flanks; M-FLAMPA particle transport then reproduces the observed flux ordering.

Significance. If the modeled connectivity and shock properties hold, the result demonstrates that stream interaction regions can dominate SEP connectivity over nominal Parker-spiral estimates and that shock inhomogeneity can produce order-of-magnitude intensity differences across ≲30° longitudinal separations, with direct implications for SEP forecasting and interpretation of multi-spacecraft observations.

major comments (2)
  1. [AWSoM-R simulation results (near §3–4)] The central explanatory power rests on the AWSoM-R-derived footpoint mapping and the assignment of SolO to the shock nose versus Earth/STA to the flanks. No quantitative validation is supplied: the manuscript does not compare simulated solar-wind speed, density, or magnetic sector at the three spacecraft locations near event onset against the in-situ measurements that would independently confirm the >50° footpoint shift or the relative compression ratios.
  2. [M-FLAMPA transport results and abstract] The abstract and results state that M-FLAMPA reproduces the observed flux ordering, yet no error bars on connectivity angles, flux-ratio metrics, or sensitivity tests to initial coronal conditions or grid resolution are reported. Without these, it is unclear whether the ordering is robust or sensitive to modest (~20–30°) errors in the modeled stream-interface location.
minor comments (2)
  1. [Shock analysis] Clarify the precise definition of 'compression ratio' used for the shock nose versus flanks and how it is extracted from the MHD solution.
  2. [Figures] Figure captions should explicitly state the time of the connectivity mapping relative to the CME launch and the spacecraft radial distances used.

    Authors: We agree that quantitative validation against in-situ data would strengthen the claims. In the revised manuscript we will add direct comparisons of simulated solar-wind speed, density, and magnetic sector at the three spacecraft locations with the corresponding observations near event onset. These comparisons will be used to assess the modeled footpoint shift and relative compression ratios. revision: yes

    Authors: We acknowledge that uncertainty quantification and sensitivity tests were not included. In revision we will perform sensitivity experiments varying initial coronal conditions and grid resolution, report estimated uncertainties on connectivity angles and flux ratios, and demonstrate that the flux ordering remains robust under modest shifts in the stream-interface location. revision: yes

Circularity Check

0 steps flagged

No significant circularity; forward MHD+particle simulation matches independent multi-spacecraft observations

full rationale

The derivation proceeds by driving AWSoM-R with observed CME parameters to obtain magnetic footpoints and shock compression ratios, then running M-FLAMPA to compute SEP fluxes that are compared directly to the three spacecraft time series. No SEP flux data are used to tune model parameters, no self-citation supplies a uniqueness theorem that forces the connectivity result, and the ordering emerges from the inhomogeneous shock geometry rather than being imposed by construction. The central claim therefore remains externally falsifiable against the measured fluxes.
