Postmidnight chorus: A substorm phenomenon

TL;DR: In this paper, the post-midnight chorus was detected in the midnight sector of the magnetosphere in conjunction with magnetospheric substorms and the characteristics of these emissions such as their frequency time structure, emission frequency with respect to the local equatorial electron gyrofrequency, intensity-time variation, and the average intensity were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Origin of interplanetary southward magnetic fields responsible for major magnetic storms near solar maximum (1978–1979)

TL;DR: In this article, simultaneous ISEE-3 field and plasma data were used to examine interplanetary phenomena associated with 10 major magnetic storms detected from August 16, 1978, to December 28, 1979, in a study of Gonzalez and Tsurutani (1987), and, in particular, to determine the origins of the southward magnetic fields which caused the storms.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cassini Magnetic Field Investigation

TL;DR: The dual technique magnetometer system onboard the Cassini orbiter is described in this paper, which consists of vector helium and fluxgate magnetometers with the capability to operate the helium device in a scalar mode.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bidirectional solar wind electron heat flux events

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ISEE 3 plasma and magnetic field data to document the general characteristics of bidirectional electron heat flux events (BEHFEs) and found that significant field rotations often occur at the beginning and/or end of such events and, at times, the large-field rotations characteristic of'magnetic clouds' are present.
Journal ArticleDOI

Two types of magnetospheric ELF chorus and their substorm dependences

TL;DR: In this paper, the distribution of extremely low frequency (10-1500 Hz) magnetospheric chorus to all local times and latitudes is investigated in order to determine dependence on substorms, and to evaluate the conditions under which chorus is generated.
