Magnetospheric Chorus Emissions : a Review
A review of chorus emissions observed on ground-based stations and in the Earth’s magnetosphere is presented. Different approaches to modelling these emissions are discussed. It is pointed out that the most likely energy source of chorus emissions lies in the anisotropic hot electrons in the equatorial magnetosphere. The energy of these electrons is transferred to waves via the electron cyclotr...
متن کاملLaboratory simulation of magnetospheric chorus wave generation
Whistler mode chorus emissions with a characteristic frequency chirp are important magnetospheric waves, responsible for the acceleration of outer radiation belt electrons to relativistic energies and also for the scattering loss of these electrons into the atmosphere. A laboratory experiment (Van Compernolle et al 2015 Phys. Rev. Lett. 114 245002, An et al 2016 Geophys. Res. Lett.) in the larg...
متن کاملDo magnetospheric shear Alfvén waves generate sufficient electron energy flux to power the aurora?
[1] Using a self‐consistent drift‐kinetic simulation code, we investigate whether electron acceleration owing to shear Alfvén waves in the plasma sheet boundary layer is sufficient to cause auroral brightening in the ionosphere. The free parameters used in the simulation code are guided by in situ observations of wave and plasma parameters in the magnetosphere at distances >4 RE from the Earth....
متن کاملDucted propagation of chorus waves: Cluster observations
Ducted propagation of whistler waves in the terrestrial magnetosphere-ionosphere system was discussed and studied long before the first in-situ spacecraft measurements. While a number of implicit examples of the existence of ducted propagation have been found, direct observation of ducts has been hampered by the low sampling rates of measurements of the plasma density. The present paper is base...
متن کاملAcceleration time scale at ultrarelativistic shock waves
The first-order cosmic ray acceleration at ultrarelativistic shocks is investigated using the Monte Carlo method. We apply a method of discrete particle momentum scattering as a model of particle pitch angle diffusion to reproduce highly anisotropic conditions at the shock wave. Shocks with Lorentz factors γ up to 320 and varying magnetic field inclinations ψ are considered. Values of diffusion...
