Abstract
Abstract. The radiation data collected by the Standard Radiation
Environment Monitor (SREM) aboard ESA missions INTEGRAL (INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory), Rosetta, Herschel,
Planck and Proba-1, and by the high-energy neutron detector (HEND)
instrument aboard Mars Odyssey, are analysed with an emphasis on
characterising galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) in the inner heliosphere. A
cross calibration between all sensors was performed for this study, which
can also be used in subsequent works. We investigate the stability of the
SREM detectors over long-term periods. The radiation data are compared
qualitatively and quantitatively with the corresponding solar activity.
Based on INTEGRAL and Rosetta SREM data, a GCR helioradial gradient of
2.96 % AU−1 is found between 1 and 4.5 AU. In addition, the data during the
last phase of the Rosetta mission around comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko
were studied in more detail. An unexpected yet unexplained 8 %
reduction of the Galactic Comic Ray flux measured by Rosetta SREM in the
vicinity of the comet is noted.
