QUOTE {}Our analysis reveals that the disappearance of protons is related to magnetic shadowing by the planet, while electrons dropouts occur due to a wide magnetic loss cone.
QUOTE {}These findings show that sustained high-energy particle precipitation can occur during solar energetic particle events on weakly magnetized rocky planets orbiting close to their parent star.
