Probing properties of the magnetospheric hot plasma distribution by whistler mode wave injection at multiple frequencies: Evidence of spatial as well as temporal wave growth
D. L. Carpenter,Vikas S. Sonwalkar,R. A. Helliwell,M. Walt,Umran S. Inan,M. Ikeda,D. L. Caudle +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used wave injection at multiple discrete frequencies to study temporal changes in magnetospheric hot electrons with parallel (gyroresonant) velocities in various nonoverlapping ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conjugate observations on board a satellite and on the ground of a remarkable MLR-like event
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed analysis of the simultaneous observations of an MLR-like event on the ground and in the conjugate region is presented, showing that the individual lines forming the event result (at least in this particular case) from elements reflected between the northern and southern hemispheres.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic instability of a gyrating ring distribution with application to satellite pickup in planetary magnetospheres
Richard M. Thorne,Danny Summers +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the growth rate of oblique plasma waves due to resonant particle-wave interactions was investigated in the case of pickup ions and electrons released by satellites in the rapidly rotating magnetospheres of the giant planets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discrete VLF emissions (7–9 kHz) displaying unusual banded and periodic structure
TL;DR: In this article, a computer program based on Helliwell's (1967) phenomenological theory is used to determine the generation region and electron energies involved, and it is shown that this time period is consistent with that required to replenish the flux of resonant electrons, by eastwards drift into the duct, after the emissions have been quenched due to the reduction of the flux by pitch-angle diffusion into the loss cone.

The boundary of the geomagnetic field
L. J. Cahill,P. G. Amazeen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the geomagnetic field boundary was determined using data obtained from a magnetometer on the explorer Explorer XI and the magnetometer was used to measure the magnetic field boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimulated Emission of Radiation by Relativistic Electrons in a Magnetic Field
TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic Schroedinger equation of an electron moving perpendicularly to a magnetic field H, can be reduced to the equation of the harmonic oscillator, and formulas were derived by means of the Boltzman transfer equation, taking into account the dependence of the electron mass on kinetic energy.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-latitude geophysical studies with satellite Injun 3: 3. Precipitation of electrons into the atmosphere
TL;DR: In this article, the precipitation of electrons with energy Ee ≥ 40 kev into the atmosphere over North America is analyzed using three directional Geiger tubes on the magnetically oriented satellite Injun 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scattering of energetic trapped electrons by very‐low‐frequency waves
TL;DR: In this article, the role of VLF waves in precipitating fast electrons is studied and it is found that, by Doppler-shifting whistler frequencies (1−10 kc/s) up to the local Larmor frequency, a resonant interaction of the type proposed by Dragt and Wentzel (for interaction of protons with hydromagnetic waves) can cause the mirror points of the electrons to move randomly.
