متن کاملProton aurora observed from the ground
Auroral keV proton precipitation is a significant-energy particle input upon the high-latitude ionosphere, often dominating in the polar cusp and the dusk sector of the equatorward auroral oval. A unique signature of proton precipitation is the Doppler-shifted H Balmer lines (Ha, Hb) observable from the ground. These lines are emitted by energetic H atoms produced within the proton beam through...
متن کاملElectron and proton aurora observed spectroscopically in the far ultraviolet
[1] The only way to get a global, instantaneous picture of the energetic particle input over the auroral oval is through spectral imaging. The major driver of auroral emissions in the high-latitude ionosphere is overall electron precipitation. However, for certain locations and times, such as the equatorial edge of the evening auroral oval, proton precipitation can be the major energy source an...
متن کاملCoexisting structures from high- and low-energy precipitation in fine-scale aurora
High resolution multi-monochromatic measurements of auroral emissions have revealed the first optical evidence of co-existing small-scale auroral features resulting from separate high and low energy populations of precipitating electrons on the same field line. The features exhibit completely separate motion and morphology. From emission ratios and ion chemistry modeling, the average energy and...
متن کاملSmall-scale structures in the far-infrared background
Four fields with areas ranging from 80 to 2000 arcmin2 have been mapped with the photometer on board of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) at 90 and around 180μm in regions of bright and faint cirrus. We examined the spatial characteristics of the infrared background emission with high spatial resolution and found that the fluctuations in the background emission limit the detection sensitivit...
