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. |
