Semi-logarithmic representation of the spacecraft constellation in the Carrington coordinate system. The plot is linear inside the dashed black circle, which marks the distance of the PFSS at 2.5 R in this case, and the orange circle marks the Sun. Above 2.5 R, the plot is logarithmic in distance. Color-coded solid circles mark the various spacecraft of the constellation, and the lines connected to them represent the nominal Parker spiral solutions computed considering their heliocentric distances and the observed solar wind speeds. Inside the dashed black line, the magnetic connection is extrapolated with a PFSS solution, where the color of the lines corresponds to heliospheric latitude. The black arrow corresponds to the flare location.
