Simultaneous entry of oxygen ions originating from the Sun and Earth into the inner magnetosphere during magnetic storms
[1] The aim of this paper is to present, for the first time, almost simultaneous enhancements of both lowand high-charge-state oxygen ions in the inner magnetosphere during magnetic storms. Storm-time enhancements of low-charge-state O ions are well recognized, but the behavior of high-charge-state O ions is less known. Data simultaneously collected from the ACE, Geotail, and Polar satellites i...
متن کاملObservations of interstellar helium pickup ions in the inner heliosphere
[1] During the MESSENGER spacecraft’s interplanetary trajectory to Mercury, the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) measured the first helium pickup ion distributions at a heliocentric distance (R) ranging between 0.3 and 0.7 AU. From several transits of MESSENGER through the interstellar helium gravitational focusing cone, we map the cone structure in the ecliptic at R = 0.3 AU and compare...
متن کاملObservations of lower hybrid cavities in the inner magnetosphere by the Cluster and Viking satellites
Observations by the Viking and Cluster satellites at altitudes up to 35 000 km show that Lower Hybrid Cavities (LHCs) are common in the inner magnetosphere. LHCs are density depletions filled with waves in the lower hybrid frequency range. The LHCs have, until recently, only been found at altitudes up to 2000 km. Statistics of the locations and general shape of the LHCs is performed to obtain a...
متن کاملSurvey of coherent 1 Hz waves in Mercury’s inner magnetosphere from MESSENGER observations
[1] We summarize observations by the MESSENGER spacecraft of highly coherent waves at frequencies between 0.4 and 5 Hz in Mercury’s inner magnetosphere. This survey covers the time period from 24 March to 25 September 2011, or 2.1 Mercury years. These waves typically exhibit banded harmonic structure that drifts in frequency as the spacecraft traverses the magnetic equator. The waves are seen a...
متن کاملDiscovery of nitrogen in Saturn’s inner magnetosphere
[1] We detected N in Saturn’s magnetosphere in the range L 3.5 to 9.5 Saturn Radii (Rs) using data collected by the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer during Saturn Orbit Insertion and the following orbit (Rev A). The presence of N in Saturn’s magnetosphere has been a source of much debate since Voyager’s detection of unresolved mass/charge 14–16 amu ions in this region. Two principal nitrogen sources...
