Cusp as a source for oxygen in the plasma sheet during geomagnetic storms

TL;DR: In this paper, the ion composition data from the CIS/CODIF instrument on Cluster was used to determine how the O+ population in the plasma sheet and the adjacent lobes changes during geomagnetic storms.

Testing electric field models using ring current ion energy spectra from the Equator-S ion composition (ESIC) instrument

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the expected energy spectra modeled using a Volland-Stern electric field and a Weimer electric field, assuming charge exchange along the drift path, with the observed spectral features for H+ and O+ for the main and early recovery phase of a geomagnetic storm on February 18, 1998.

The Time-of-Flight Energy, Angle, Mass Spectrograph (Teams) Experiment for Fast

TL;DR: The Time-of-flight Energy Angle Mass Spectrograph (TEAMS) was used on the FAST Small Explorer mission to measure the 3D distribution function of the major ion species present in the lower magnetosphere as mentioned in this paper.

Ion thermalization in quasi-perpendicular shocks involving reflected ions

TL;DR: In this article, the ion thermalization mechanism downstream of the Earth's bow shock is examined by means of plasma and magnetic field data from the AMPTE/IRM spacecraft which include three-dimensional ion distributions, plasma fluid parameters derived every ∼4.3 s, and spectra of transverse and parallel magnetic fluctuations up to 16 Hz.

Theory and simulation of collisionless parallel shocks

TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent theoretical model for collisionless parallel shock structure, based on the hypothesis that shock dissipation and heating can be provided by electromagnetic ion beam-driven instabilities, is presented.

The Plasma Instrument for AMPTE IRM

TL;DR: The AMPTE IRM package consists of three sensors, two measuring complete 3D velocity distribution functions of ions and electrons every spacecraft revolution (i.e., 4.35 s) and a retarding potential analyzer (RPA) for low-energy electron measurements as mentioned in this paper.
