    Mass loading and velocity diffusion models for heavy pickup ions at comet Grigg-Skjellerup (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: We compare model predictions of cometary water group ion densities and the solar wind slow down with measurements made by the Giotto Johnstone plasma analyzer implanted ion sensor at the encounter with comet Grigg-Skjellerup (G-S) on July 10, 1992. The observed slope of the ion density profile on approach to the comet is unexpectedly steep. Possible explanations for this are discussed. We present also a preliminary investigation of the quasilinear velocity-space diffusion of the implanted heavy ion population at G-S using a transport equation including souce, convection, adiabatic compression, and velocity diffusion terms. Resulting distributions are anisotropic, in agreement with observations. We consider theoretically the waves that may be generated by the diffusion process for the observed solar wind conditions. At initial ion injections, waves are generated at omega approximately Omega(sub i) the ion gyrofrequency, and lower frequencies are predicted for diffusion toward a bispherical shell.

    Mirror modes and fast magnetoacoustic waves near the magnetic pileup boundary of comet P/Halley (1993)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-24
    Description: Large-amplitude ultralow-frequency wave structure observed on both sides of the magnetic pileup boundary of comet P/Halley during the flyby of the Giotto spacecraft have been analyzed using suprathermal electron density and magnetic field observations. Upstream of the boundary, electron density and magnetic field magnitude variations are anticorrelated, while in the pileup region these quantities are clearly correlated. Both in front of and behind the pileup boundary the observed waves are quasi-perpendicular wave structures as a minimum variance analysis shows. A detailed comparison of our observations in the prepileup region with theoretical and numerical results shows that the mirror mode mode waves may have been generated by a mirror instability driven by the pressure anisotropy of the ring-type distributions of the heavy (water group) pickup cometary ions.

    Soft X-rays from Her X-1 during the off phase (1976)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-04-18
    Description: Weak 0.28-keV radiation was observed from Her X-1 5 days before turn-on in the 35 day cycle. The observations were made from an Aerobee rocket. The 0.28-keV intensity is about 1/25 that observed during the on phase. Some evidence for X-rays above 1 keV is also present, and it is possible that the spectrum is different only in intensity from the spectrum in the on phase. The radiation may be X-rays from the vicinity of the neutron star, scattered by ionized material in the inner accretion disk, or may be thermal radiation from the inner accretion disk, or both.

    CDAW 7 revisited - Further evidence for the creation of a near-earth substorm neutral line (1990)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: Eastman et al. (1988) have interpreted the CDAW 7 substorm of April 24, 1979, previously taken as unambiguously supporting the near-earth neutral line model of magnetospheric substorms, in terms of spatial movements of a preexisting plasma-sheet boundary layer (PSBL) and its associated current sheets across the observing ISEE 1 and 2 spacercraft. It is presently noted that, by contrast, a reinvestigation of ISEE 1 and 2 energetic particle measurements around substorm onset on short time-scales shows the observed flux pattern to require the formation of a particle source eastward of the ISEE spacecraft, well within the plasma sheet, associated with the substorm onset. Strong flows were absent prior to substorm onset, indicating the temporal nature of the event, as opposed to an encounter with a preexisting PSBL containing large flows.

    X-ray evidence for the supernova origin of the North Polar spur (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Soft X-ray observations during four scans across the North Polar radio continuum spur have provided additional evidence that the spur encircles an old supernova remnant. From the measured intensity of the X-ray emission, and the known diameter of the remnant, it is estimated that its age is several hundred thousand years and that the supernova was of Type II, with an energy between 10 to the 51st and 10 to the 53rd ergs.

    Protons as the prime contributors to storm time ring current (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Following a large sudden commencement on June 17, 1972, a large magnetic storm evolved, with a well-developed main phase and recovery phase. Explorer 45 (S3-A), with its apogee near 16 hours local time in June, measured the equatorial particle populations and magnetic field throughout this period. By use of data obtained during the symmetric recovery phase it is shown that through a series of self-consistent calculations, the measured protons, with energies from 1 to 872 keV, can account for almost all of the observed ring current magnetic effects within the limits of experimental uncertainties. This enables us to set an upper limit to the heavy ion contribution to the storm time ring current of a few percent of the proton contribution.

    Substorm-injected protons and electrons and the injection boundary model (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: Analysis of observations of substorm-associated enhancements of proton and electron fluxes: (1) makes a strong case for the existence of a boundary limiting the regional particle injection associated with substorms, (2) supports the hypothesis that the injection process is almost instantaneous (less than approximately 5 min), and (3) indicates that the injection takes place within a large region extending at least several earth radii tailward of the injection boundary. The injection boundary model is superior to others in that it simultaneously explains: (1) the drift and energy dispersion of substorm-injected protons between 1 and 30 keV, (2) the relative behavior of protons with 81 deg and 27 deg pitch angles, (3) the absence of observed electrons below 30 keV, and (4) the time dispersion of impulsively injected electrons seen outside the plasmapause.

    Injection boundary dynamics during a geomagnetic storm (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: A series of proton and electron injections were observed by Explorer 45 associated with several substorms during the main phase of the Feb. 24, 1972 geomagnetic storm. The 1- to 290-keV protons and 1- to 560-keV electrons were observed in the evening quadrant up to L of about 5.2. A model distorted dipole magnetic field and McIlwain's E3 convection electric field were used to backtrack the energy-dispersed electron and proton fluxes to their source at the time of injection. The source turns out to be a region extending over several earth radii outside an injection boundary. In the night magnetosphere, the inferred injection boundary is displaced inward with each successive substorm. The energy dispersion plot of the particles injected during orbit 314 indicates that as the energy of the observed particles decreases there is a smooth transition to the position of the plasmapause. This suggests that for that substorm the injection boundary and the plasmapause were one and the same. The proton 'noses' reported by Smith and Hoffman (1974) are discussed.

    Some early results from the ATS-6 radio beacon experiment (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-16
    Description: The multifrequency satellite radio beacon enables the measurement of the columnar electron content of the ionosphere and plasmasphere along the ray path and its spatial and temporal structure. Measurements include modulation phase, Faraday rotation, and amplitude. The characteristics of the beacon transmitter and its design are presented together with the design of the Boulder receiver and antennas and the calibration procedures. A shape factor F is defined which depends on the electron density and geomagnetic field distributions. It is found that F varies by about 30% from day to night. It is shown that the ratio of the plasmaspheric content to total content varies from about 0.08 during the day to about 0.35 at night. Other examples which are presented to illustrate the uses of the radio beacon include sunrise effects, solar flare enhancements of total content, and the ionospheric storms of early July 1974.
