Association of Alfvén waves and proton cyclotron waves with electrostatic bipolar pulses: magnetic hole events observed by Polar
Two magnetic hole events observed by Polar on 20 May 1996 when it was in the polar cap/polar cusp boundary layer are studied. Low-frequency waves, consisting of nonlinear Alfvén waves and large amplitude (±14 nT peakto-peak) obliquely propagating proton cyclotron waves (with frequency f ∼0.6 to 0.7fcp), accompanied by electric bipolar pulses (electron holes) and electron heating have been obser...
متن کاملElectron densities inferred from plasma wave spectra obtained by the Waves instrument on Van Allen Probes
The twin Van Allen Probe spacecraft, launched in August 2012, carry identical scientific payloads. The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science suite includes a plasma wave instrument (Waves) that measures three magnetic and three electric components of plasma waves in the frequency range of 10 Hz to 12 kHz using triaxial search coils and the Electric Fields and Waves...
متن کاملElectrostatic Ion - Cyclotron Waves in a Two - Ion Component Plasma
The excitation of electrostatic ion-cyclotron (EIC) waves is studied in a single-ended Q machine in a two-ion-component plasma (Cs+ and K+). Over a large range of relative concentrations of Cs+ and K+ ions, two modes are excited with frequencies w , z Q,,, and w2 t QK+, where the Q's are the respective cyclotron frequencies. The results are discussed in terms of a fluid theory of electrostatic ...
متن کاملElectrostatic Ion-cyclotron Waves Driven by Parallel Velocity Shear
Using a fluid treatment, it is shown that electrostatic waves with angular frequencies ~ ωci (ion cyclotron frequency) propagating at large angles to the ambient magnetic field can be excited in a magnetized plasma by perpendicular shear in the magnetic field aligned plasma flow. The role of density gradients in determining the stability of sheardriven EIC modes is also considered. PACS numbers...
متن کاملExcitation of electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves by an ion beam in a two-ion component plasma
An ion beam propagating through a magnetized plasma cylinder containing electrons, light positive potassium ions K+ , and heavy positive cesium ions Cs+ drives electrostatic ion cyclotron EIC waves to instability via Cerenkov interaction. Two EIC wave modes are present, the K+ and Cs+ modes. The unstable wave frequencies and the growth rate of both the light positive ion and heavy positive ion ...
