High-speed solar wind streams influence on relativistic electrons in the outer earth's<br />

radiation belt during the solar activity minimum.<br />

One of the goals of the experiment on board Russi<strong>an</strong> space solar observatory CORONAS-<br />

Photon is the investigation of the space weather, in particular the relativistic electron flux<br />

dynamics in the radiation belt of the Earth’s behavior. Although, geomagnetic activity during<br />

whole 2009 was very low, sometime radiation conditions demonstrated variations typical for<br />

mo<strong>der</strong>ate magnetic storms. The increased (about two or<strong>der</strong>) fluxes of the relativistic electron<br />

with the energy 1-4 MeV were measured after the small magnetic disturb<strong>an</strong>ce on 13 March<br />

2009. This enh<strong>an</strong>cement was caused by high-speed solar wind stream incoming to the Earth’s<br />

orbit. The next enh<strong>an</strong>cement of the relativistic electron flux was observed on April, 9, after<br />

the next high-speed stream’s coming to the Earth. During the September, October <strong>an</strong>d<br />

November 2009 the similar electron flux enh<strong>an</strong>cements were observed also, but their<br />

amplitudes were signific<strong>an</strong>tly lower. Electron-M-Pesca is the semiconductor telescope was<br />

created for the detection of electrons with the energy 200 keV- 1 MeV, 1-4 MeV <strong>an</strong>d > 4<br />

MeV. These observations show that near-Earth’s environment is strongly caused by the solar<br />

wind during solar minimum.<br />
