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 کاملField-aligned current associated with low-latitude plasma blobs as observed by the CHAMP satellite
Here we give two examples of low-latitude plasma blobs accompanied by linearly polarized perpendicular magnetic deflections which imply that associated field-aligned currents (FACs) have a 2-D sheet structure located at the blob walls. The estimated FAC density is of the order of 0.1 μA/m2. The direction of magnetic deflections points westward of the magnetic meridian and there is a linear corr...
متن کاملHigh-latitude plasma structure and scintillation
[1] Observations of high-latitude plasma structure and scintillation are presented from the January 2001 scintillation campaign timeframe. Comparisons are made using the all-sky imager and two beacon-satellite ground receivers located at Sondrestrom, Greenland. The Coherent Ionospheric Doppler Receiver (CIDR) observes 150and 400-MHz signals transmitted from low-Earth-orbiting satellites. The 25...
متن کاملHIGH LATITUDE GAMMA RAYS ASSOCIATED WITH VIRGO
A more detailed analysis is made of the energy spectrum of the diffuse component of extragalactic gamma rays over the range of 0.3- 10 GeV, obtained fromthe EGRET instrument at the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The derived excess energy spectrum of high galactic latitude, b > 60°, using intercept method shows that it is correlated with Virgo cluster (over lsr) and average Virgo intensity i...
متن کاملThe thermal self-focusing instability near the critical surface in the high-latitude ionosphere
A fully nonlinear development of the thermal self-focusing instability of high power radio waves in the ionosphere in the region near the critical surface is the subject of the present study. In the simulation model studied, a high-powered radio wave in the frequency range 510 MHz, with a 1% amplitude modulation, is launched vertically. In the high latitude geometry this represents a direction ...
