The plot to the left summarizes the GeD, PXRI, and CXRI count rates for the entire flight between January 12-30, 2000. Note two large auroral x-ray events on January 19-20, 2000 and January 22-26, 2000. Count rates for these events are shown below. |

| Count rates for the January 19-20, 2000 auroral x-ray event. | Count rates for the between January 22-24, 2000. This event, extending through January 26, 2000 may have been associated with a period of disturbed solar wind conditions that may have included a CME interaction with the magnetosphere. | |
