Notes. Columns 1–4 present the respective spacecraft and its location in Carrington coordinates (the first row provides the flare location). Column 5 lists the measured solar wind speed (one–hour–averaged at the SEP onset), 6–7 and 8–9 respectively provide the backmapped magnetic footpoints of the observer at 2.5 R and at the solar surface using the PFSS model. Column 10 gives the observed (O) and modelled (M) polarity.

(a)

PFSS footpoints at 1 R;

(b)

Longitude and latitude values are given in the Carrington coordinate system.
