Whistler propagation in ionospheric density ducts: Simulations and DEMETER observations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the distribution of VLF power observed by DEMETER is consistent with the propagation of whistlers from the heating region inside the observed density enhancements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Energetic electron precipitation due to gyroresonant interactions in the magnetosphere Involving coherent VLF waves with slowly varying frequency

TL;DR: In this article, a test particle simulation model was extended to study the transient particle precipitation fluxes induced by various coherent VLF waves with slowly varying frequency propagating along the earth's magnetic field lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconsidering the effectiveness of quasi‐static thunderstorm electric fields for whistler duct formation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the effect of quasi-static radial thunderstorm electric fields on the formation of whistler ducts and found that such fields are of insufficient strength, given average thunderstorm effective charge, to create ducting within a reasonable time period.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short-period VLF emissions as solitary envelope waves in a magnetospheric plasma maser

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of quasi-linear relaxation on the cyclotron instability at the leading edge of an electromagnetic pulse has been investigated and it is shown that this effect facilitates the division of VLF hiss-like emission into separate electromagnetic pulses without spectral modification from one pulse to the next.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theoretical notes on whistlers and periodic emissions in the hydromagnetic regime

TL;DR: In this article, the cyclotron instability process was proposed as the generation mechanism of hm emissions in general, and not only for hm whistlers, but also for the frequency of a hm wave.

The boundary of the geomagnetic field

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.
