Tail - dominated storm main phase : 31 March 2001
[1] On 31 March 2001 a fast solar wind transient with strong southward interplanetary magnetic field Bz produced a large geomagnetic storm at Earth, with a drop in the Dst index to 350 nT between 0400 and 0900 UT. The Earth’s magnetosphere was very compressed during this interval, with the bow shock crossing geosynchronous orbit on at least two occasions. Here we present space-based and ground-...
متن کاملCharting the Interstellar Magnetic Field Causing the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (ibex) Ribbon of Energetic Neutral Atoms
The interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) near the heliosphere is a fundamental component of the solar galactic environment that can only be studied using polarized starlight. The results of an ongoing survey of the linear polarizations of local stars are analyzed with the goal of linking the ISMF that shapes the heliosphere to the nearby field in interstellar space. We present new results on the ...
متن کاملAre the sungrazing comets the inner source of pickup ions and energetic neutral atoms?
We show arguments that at least part of the inner source of pickup ions and energetic neutral atoms (∼ 1 keV) might be the material released by sungrazing comets. Based on the monthly apparition statistics we postulate that the actual number of sungrazing comets may be even higher than observed. We point out that an overwhelming majority of the observed sungrazers belong to the Kreutz group of ...
متن کاملObservations and Interpretations of Energetic Neutral Hydrogen Atoms from the December 5, 2006 Solar Event
We discuss recently reported observations of energetic neutral hydrogen atoms (ENAs) from an X9 solar flare/coronal mass ejection event on 5 December 2006, located at E79. The observations were made by the Low Energy Telescopes (LETs) on STEREO A and B. Prior to the arrival of the main solar energetic particle (SEP) event at Earth, both LETs observed a sudden burst of 1.6 to 15 MeV energetic ne...
متن کاملOn storm weakening during substorm expansion phase
Iyemori and Rao recently presented evidence that the strength of a magnetic storm, as measured by -Dst, weakens, or its rate of growth slows, during the substorm expansion phase. Yet the expansion phase is known to inject energetic particles into the ring current, which should strengthen the storm. We propose to reconcile these apparently contradictory results by combining the virial theorem an...
