Energetic electron precipitation during sawtooth injections
We present simultaneous riometer observations of cosmic noise absorption in the nightside and dawn-noon sectors during sawtooth particle injections during 18 April 2002. Energetic electron precipitation (>30 keV) is a feature of magnetospheric substorms and cosmic radio noise absorption acts as a proxy for qualitatively measuring this precipitation. This event provides an opportunity to compare...
متن کاملNitrogen Emissions from Titan due to Energetic Electron Bombardment
Emissions from Titan’s dayside atmosphere at ultraviolet wavelengths were observed by Voyager. The major source was shown to be photoelectron interactions with the neutral N2 present in the atmosphere whether or not Titan was inside or outside Saturn’s magnetosphere. Since discrepancies exist between observations and models, and photoelectrons do not contribute significantly to emissions from t...
متن کاملMissing driver in the Sun–Earth connection from energetic electron precipitation impacts mesospheric ozone
Energetic electron precipitation (EEP) from the Earth's outer radiation belt continuously affects the chemical composition of the polar mesosphere. EEP can contribute to catalytic ozone loss in the mesosphere through ionization and enhanced production of odd hydrogen. However, the long-term mesospheric ozone variability caused by EEP has not been quantified or confirmed to date. Here we show, u...
متن کاملEnergetic Nitrogen-rich Salts
Abstract: Energetic salts as a unique class of energetic materials have recently been investigated widely, since they possess advantages over their atomically similar nonionic analogues – they tend to exhibit lower vapor pressures, higher densities and better thermal stabilities. Furthermore, these salts are readily improved upon by the appropriate combination of different cations and anions. O...
متن کاملAre variations in PMSE intensity affected by energetic particle precipitation?
The correlation between variations in Polar Mesosphere Summer Echoes (PMSE) and variations in energetic particle precipitation is examined. PMSE were observed by the Esrange VHF MST Radar (ESRAD) at 6753 N, 2106 E. The 30 MHz riometer in Abisko (6824 N, 1854 E) registered radio wave absorption caused by ionization changes in response to energetic particle precipitation. The relationship between...
