Isis 1 observations at the source of auroral kilometric radiation
Robert F. Benson,Wynne Calvert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) was observed from Isis 1 above the nighttime auroral zone over a wider extent in longitude than in latitude with an intense source region observed most often near 2200 LMT and 70 deg invariant latitude.

Manning,Nicole Meyer-Vernet,Michel Moncuquet,D. L. Carpenter,Dennis L. Gallagher,Patricia H. Reiff +19 more
TL;DR: The Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) as mentioned in this paper uses total reflection of electromagnetic waves from plasmas whose plasma frequencies equal the radio sounding frequency and whose electron density gradients are parallel to the wave normals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Auroral kilometric radiation: Wave modes, harmonics, and source region electron density structures
TL;DR: A change from extraordinary (X) mode to ordinary (0) mode dominance is observed in the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) detected on ISIS 1 topside sounder ionograms as the source region plasma to gyrofrequency ratio fN/fH varies from 0.1 to 1.3 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous wave and particle observations in the auroral kilometric radiation source region
TL;DR: In this paper, the top-side sounder and the soft particle spectrometer onboard the ISIS 1 satellite were used to detect the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) source region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topside sounder observations of equatorial bubbles
Peter. Dyson,Robert F. Benson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic field-aligned nature of equatorial bubbles is investigated using top-side sounder data, and it is determined that the bubble is asymmetric with respect to the magnetic equator.
