Proton/electron temperature ratio in the magnetotail
We study the temperature ratio of protons and electrons based on statistics of Cluster observations in the Earth’s magnetotail from 2001 to 2004. During these years, from June to November, the Cluster spacecraft visited the plasma sheet at the distance r ∼−19RE. We use proton and electron moments collected in the central region of the plasma sheet (|Z|< 5RE). We find an average ratio of proton ...
متن کاملElectron acoustic solitons in the Earth’s magnetotail
Small amplitude electron – acoustic solitons are studied in a magnetized plasma consisting of two types of electrons, namely cold electron beam and background plasma electrons and two temperature ion plasma. The analysis predicts rarefactive solitons. The model may provide a possible explanation for the perpendicular polarization of the low-frequency component of the broadband electrostatic noi...
متن کاملSuprathermal electron acceleration during reconnection onset in the magnetotail
We study one event of reconnection onset associated to a small substorm on 27 September 2006 by using Cluster observations at inter-spacecraft separation of about 10 000 km. We focus on the acceleration of suprathermal electrons during different stages of reconnection. We show that several distinct stages of acceleration occur: (1) moderate acceleration during reconnection of pre-existing plasm...
متن کاملThe Magnetopause Electron Layer along the Distant Magnetotail
An energetic electron layer is found Observations immediately adjacent to, and outside of, the magnetopause surface along the distant magnetotail The observed bow shock and magnetopause cross(-40 • X <•-15 RE). The layer has been detected ings during one orbit are shown by dashed, curved using Ca•ech instrumentation aboard the earthlines drawn o the trajectory plot in Figure 1. orbiting spacecr...
متن کاملHelicon waves in the magnetotail
[1] The helicon modes are studied in Earth’s magnetotail using the Harris sheet as a model of its equilibrium. The plasma sheet is divided into two regions: In region 1 both the electrons and the ions are treated as magnetized, whereas in region 2 the electrons are treated as magnetized but the ions are unmagnetized. The eigenmode equation for the low-frequency, parallel propagating right-hand ...
