Alfvén waves in the lower solar atmosphere.
The flow of energy through the solar atmosphere and the heating of the Sun's outer regions are still not understood. Here, we report the detection of oscillatory phenomena associated with a large bright-point group that is 430,000 square kilometers in area and located near the solar disk center. Wavelet analysis reveals full-width half-maximum oscillations with periodicities ranging from 126 to...
متن کاملELF Generation in the Lower Ionosphere via Collisional Parametric Decay
Generation of ELF waves by stimulated parametric coupling of two HF waves in the lower ionosphere is considered. In this region the nonlinear force is dominated by the thermal rather than the ponderomotive nonlinearity. It is shown that this results in lowering the pump threshold for complete decay by more than an order of magnitude while achieving efficiencies in excess of those expected on th...
متن کاملIon outflows and artificial ducts in the topside ionosphere at HAARP
[1] New results of the DMSP satellite and HAARP digisonde observations during HF heating at the High‐Frequency Active Auroral Program (HAARP) facility are described. For the first time, the DMSP satellites detected significant ion outflows associated with 10–30% density enhancements in the topside ionosphere above the heated region near the magnetic zenith. In addition, coincident high‐cadence ...
متن کاملTriton: topside ionosphere and nitrogen escape.
The principal ion in the ionosphere of Triton is N+. Energetic electrons of magnetospheric origin are the primary source of ionization, with a smaller contribution due to photoionization. To explain the topside plasma scale height, we postulate that N+ ions escape from Triton. The loss rate is 3.4 x 10(7) cm-2 s-1 or 7.9 x 10(24) ions s-1. Dissociative recombination of N2+ produces neutral ...
متن کاملTrapping of lower hybrid waves in elongated plasma depletions in the Earth’s ionosphere
Conditions for trapping of lower hybrid waves in plasma depletions in the Earth’s ionosphere are discussed. It is shown that the trapping can take place for the frequencies not only below but also above the lower hybrid resonance frequency of the background plasma, which is important for the formation of the downshifted maximum of the secondary electromagnetic emission. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
