Description: The paper presents a review of new findings related to core plasma (which includes ions and electrons with energies less than 50 eV) identified in studies of magnetosphere during 1983-1986. These findings include the cleft ion fountain; the plasmaspheric heavy ion torus; core molecular ions; high core-plasma densities in the plasma-sheet boundary layer; intense transverse heating of core plasmas in the equatorial regions; the supersonic polar wind (H/+/ and He/+/); toroidal or ring heavy-ion distribution functions in the auroral region; conic-to-field-aligned ion signatures of inverted-V auroral events; and the large-scale electron density structure of the magnetosphere. The progress made on modeling core plasma includes simulation of thermal helium heating at the equator; kinetic models of the plasma transport from localized ionospheric regions; time-dependent hydrodynamic models of the polar wind and plasmasphere-ionosphere coupling; and kinetic models of plasmasphere refilling.
