چکیده
Abstract We investigate electrostatic waves in a magnetopause reconnection event around secondary electron diffusion region. Near the current sheet mid‐plane, parallel beam‐mode are modulated by whistler waves. conclude that anisotropy of energized electrons exhaust excites waves, which produce spatially beams through nonlinear Landau resonance, and these excite In separatrix region, propagating associated with field‐aligned perpendicular cyclotron harmonic loss cone distributions exhibit modulation frequencies lower‐hybrid wave (LHW) frequency range. infer LHWs scatter to alter cones modulate The results advance our understanding about regimes mechanisms reconnection, an emphasis on their coupling lower‐frequency electromagnetic

Whistler Waves Emitted by a Thin Modulated Electron Beam
The theory of whistler wave interaction with a modulated electron beam of finite radius, injected parallel to the magnetic field in an unbounded space plasma is considered The study is done in the case of sheared whistlers interacting with the thin beam, when the parallel wave number is very small compared to the perpendicular one. The electromagnetic fields inside and outside the beam are dete...
متن کاملElectron heating by nonlinear whistler waves
Nonlinear whistler-mode phenomena observed in laboratory plasmas will be addressed. Nonlinearities arise when strong waves modify the density, temperature and magnetic field, all of which affect the wave propagation. A brief review of thermal filamentation will be given. The main focus is on the magnetic nonlinearity of whistler modes whose wave magnetic fields exceed the ambient magnetic field...
متن کاملElectron-scale sheets of whistlers close to the magnetopause
Whistler emissions close to the magnetopause on the magnetospheric side are investigated using the four Cluster spacecraft. The waves are found to be generated in thin (electron-scale) sheets moving with the plasma drift velocity. A feature in the electron data coincides with the waves; hot magnetospheric electrons disappear for a few satellite spins. This produces or enhances a temperature ani...
متن کاملParametric validations of analytical lifetime estimates for radiation belt electron diffusion by whistler waves
The lifetimes of electrons trapped in Earth’s radiation belts can be calculated from quasi-linear pitch-angle diffusion by whistler-mode waves, provided that their frequency spectrum is broad enough and/or their average amplitude is not too large. Extensive comparisons between i proved analytical lifetime estimates and full numerical calculations have been performed in a broad parameter range r...
متن کاملDetection of Whistler Waves
A whistler wave is a very low frequency electromagnetic wave generated by lightning discharges. As the electromagnetic wave travels through the plasma environments of the ionosphere and magnetosphere, it undergoes dispersion of a several thousand kilohertz. Because the propagation velocity decreases with frequency, the lower frequency components of the wave arrive later than the higher frequenc...
