High-beta plasma blobs in the morningside plasma sheet
Equator-S frequently encountered, i.e. on 30% of the orbits between 1 March and 17 April 1998, strong variations of the magnetic ®eld strength of typically 5±15-min duration outside about 9RE during the late-night/early-morning hours. Very high-plasma beta values were found, varying between 1 and 10 or more. Close conjunctions between Equator-S and Geotail revealed the spatial structure of thes...
متن کاملCompressional Pc5 type pulsations in the morningside plasma sheet
We study compressional pulsations in Pc5 frequency range observed in the dawn-side at distances of about 10 RE , close to the magnetic equator. We use data obtained during two events of conjunctions between Equator-S and Geotail: 1000–1700 UT on 9 March 1998, and 0200–0600 UT on 25 April 1998. In both events, pulsations are observed after substorm activity. The pulsations are antisymmetric with...
متن کاملHigh-beta plasma effects in a low-pressure helicon plasma
In this work, high-beta plasma effects are investigated in a low-pressure helicon plasma source attached to a large volume diffusion chamber. When operating above an input power of 900 W and a magnetic field of 30 G a narrow column of bright blue light due to Ar II radiation is observed along the axis of the diffusion chamber. With this blue mode, the plasma density is axially very uniform in t...
متن کاملThe Plasma Sheet Source Groove
A test particle study of the ionospheric source of plasma in the EarthÕs plasma sheet has been performed, in an effort to understand an apparent inconsistency between the results of forward and backward (in time) test particle calculations. Most if not all forward calculations of polar wind ion outflows result in energetic plasma sheet ion populations; yet most if not all backward trajectory ca...
متن کاملAuroral source region: Plasma properties of the high-latitude plasma sheet
Auroral source region: Plasma properties of the high-latitude plasma sheet" (2003). [1] Statistical results from a survey of 93 passes through the high-latitude extension of the plasma sheet of electron data from the Hydra instrument on the Polar spacecraft show that the values for electron density can range from 0.01 to 0.5 cm À3 with an average value around 0.1 cm À3 on the poleward side and ...
