Superthermal Ion Signatures of Auroral Acceleration Processes
The retarding ion mass spectrometer on the Dynamics Explorer 1 spacecraft has generated a unique data set which documents, among other things, the occurrence of non-Maxwellian superthermal features in the auroral topside ionosphere distribution functions. In this paper, we provide a representative sampling of the observed features and their spatial morphology as observed at altitudes in the ran...
متن کاملSatellite Observations of Auroral Acceleration Processes
Measurements with satellite and sounding rocket borne instruments contain important information on remote and local processes in regions containing matter in the plasma state. The characteristic features of the particle distributions can be used to explain the morphology and dynamics of the different plasma populations. Charged particles are lost from a region due to precipitation into the atmo...
متن کاملPonderomotive Acceleration in the Auroral Region A Kinetic Simulation
Alfvtn waves with frequencies of the order of several Hertz have been observed in the auroral region. These waves are thought to be responsible for the acceleration f !0nosphen'c particles out of the ionosphere and into the magnetosphere. As an Alfvtn wave propagates into an inhomogeneous ionosphere, the amplitude of the wave decreases resulting in a gradient in the electric field and a pondero...
متن کاملParticle Acceleration and Wave Phenomena in the Auroral Region
1 I n t r o d u c t i o n The auroral region of the terrestrial magnetosphere is a fascinating part of space, and also a part that can be investigated in some detail with satellites, sounding rockets and groundbased instruments. The second EGS Alfv~n conference held in Stockholm May 3-7 1999 was devoted to auroral particle acceleration and related topics. This meeting produced a variety of inte...
متن کاملGeneration of short-burst radiation through Alfvénic acceleration of auroral electrons
[1] A comparison of modeled simulation results with in situ observations is presented in an effort to better understand the generation mechanism of short-burst radiation (AKR) observed in the Alfvénic acceleration region. The simulation is performed using a linear gyrofluid Alfvén model to generate propagating inertial Alfvén waves with a test particle scheme to study the behavior of electrons ...
