Some characteristics of the GLE on 10 September 2017

Abstract

We present a short overview of the event associated with the recent strong solar flare on 10 September 2017 (X 8.2) based on the available data both from satellite GOES-13 and from selected neutron monitors. The onset time of SPE/GLE at 1 AU was found between 16:06 and 16:08 UT. The GLE effect was anisotropic with a maximum increase of 6 %. The maximum energy of accelerated protons was about 6 GeV. We estimated the release time of sub-relativistic protons into open field lines as 15:53 to 15:55 UT.
