- Interplanetary conditions leading to superintense geomagnetic storms (Dst ≤ −250 nT) during solar cycle 23 (2008, background): “The largest storm so far was the historical flare/storm event reported by Carrington in 1859, with an estimated Dst of 1760 nT [Tsurutani et al., 2003].”
- A major solar eruptive event in July 2012: Defining extreme space weather scenarios (2013, background): “of the interplanetary shock after the large flare on August 1972 was even larger, ~2850 km/s [Vaisberg and Zastenker, 1976] than for this case, but that no such large magnetic storm occurred probably only because the direction of the IMF was northward with a magnitude of ~73 nT [Tsurutani et al., 20”
- Statistical properties of superflares on solar-type stars based on 1-min cadence data (2015, background): “Moreover, in 1859, one of the largest solar flares, called the Carrington flare (Carrington 1859), caused the largest geomagnetic storm in the past 200 years (Tsurutani et al. 2003) which led to a failure of telegraph systems in Europe and North America (Loomis 1859).”
- A brief review of “solar flare effects” on the ionosphere (2009, background): “Flare X-ray fluxes can vary by 3 or even 4 orders of magnitude, EUV fluxes by much less [Tsurutani et al., 2005; Woods et al., 2004, 2006a, 2006b] and visible light only by a factor of 2 [see Carrington, 1860; Tsurutani et al., 2003a ].”
- Dst model for 1995–2002 (2006, methodology): “[32] A slightly earlier version of this model was used to model the largest (allegedly) magnetic storm ever recorded: the Carrington storm of 1–2 September 1859, which may have had an equivalent Dst value of below 1500 nT [Tsurutani et al., 2003].”
- Geomagnetic storms: historical perspective to modern view (2016, background): “Here, we will briefly review the main characteristics of this storm (Tsurutani et al. 2003; Lakhina et al. 2005, 2012).”
- Quantifying the daily economic impact of extreme space weather due to failure in electricity transmission infrastructure (2017, background): “There have been a number of ex post analyses of Carrington which estimate the size of the event to be 850 nT ≤Dst ≤ 1760 nT [Tsurutani et al., 2003; Siscoe et al., 2006; Tsurutani et al., 2012], roughly 1.”
- Can Superflares Occur on Our Sun (2012, methodology): “This flare induced the largest geomagnetic storm ( 1760 nT) in the most recent 200 yr, and caused damage to the terrestrial telegram system (Loomis 1861; Tsurutani et al. 2003).”
- The 1859 space weather event revisited: limits of extreme activity (2013, methodology): “…lists of magnetic crochet amplitude, solar energetic proton (SEP) fluence (McCracken et al. 2001a, 2001b), Sun-Earth disturbance transit time (Cliver et al. 1990), geomagnetic storm intensity (Tsurutani et al. 2003), and low-latitude auroral extent (e.g., Botley 1957; Vallance Jones 1992).”
- The standard flare model in three dimensions II: upper limit on solar flare energy (2012, background): “For example, the energy content of the first-ever observed solar flare on Sept 1, 1859 (Carrington 1859; Hodgson 1859) has been thoroughly debated (McCracken et al. 2001; Tsurutani et al. 2003; Cliver & Svalgaard 2004; Wolff et al. ar X iv :1 21 2.”
