UW-CPTC 08-11 Initiation of ballooning instability by reconnection in the near-Earth plasma sheet
In this work, an alternative scenario for the substorm onset process is proposed, based on ideal ballooning stability analysis of the near-Earth plasma sheet during the March 23, 2007 THEMIS substorm event. In this scenario, the ballooning instability is initiated by the magnetic reconnection in the near-Earth plasma sheet, which in turn directly contributes to the trigger of a full onset. Usin...
متن کاملSecondary electrons and positrons in near earth orbit
The secondary e + and e − populations in near earth's orbit have been calculated by simulation. The results are in very good agreement with the recent AMS measurements. The e + over e − flux ratio for particles below the geomagnetic cutoff appears to be due to the geomagnetic East-West effect. The study of particle populations in the earth environment has been a field of intense research activi...
متن کاملEffect of directional energetic electrons on the plasma density diagnostic
We have theoretically investigated how a small fraction of energetic beamed electrons influences the diagnostics of the electron density in hot plasmas, based on the intensity ratio R of the helium-like forbidden line to the intercombination lines. Elaborate calculations of the intensity ratio R have been performed for Ne8+ ions over the range of electron densities 109–1013 cm−3 using an electr...
متن کاملMulti-instrument observations of the ionospheric counterpart of a bursty bulk flow in the near-Earth plasma sheet
On 07 September 2001 the Cluster spacecraft observed a “bursty bulk flow” event in the near-Earth central plasma sheet. This paper presents a detailed study of the coincident ground-based observations and attempts to place them within a simple physical framework. The event in question occurs at ∼22:30 UT, some 10 min after a southward turning of the IMF. IMAGE and SAMNET magnetometer measuremen...
متن کاملWind survey of high-speed bulk flows and field-aligned beams in the near-Earth plasma sheet
[1] We have surveyed all high-speed (>250 km/s) flows detected by Wind during its 17 perigee passes across the near-Earth (xGSE = !25 to 0 RE) plasma sheet in the period between 1995 and 1997. By classifying high-speed flow events based on their ion distribution characteristics rather than their plasma moments or the regions in which these flows were detected, we found that most (if not all) hi...
