Electron acceleration by Landau resonance with whistler mode wave packets
D. A. Gurnett,L. A. Reinleitner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the trapping, acceleration and escape of electrons in Landau resonance with a whistler mode wave packet and showed that acceleration can occur by both inhomogeneous and dispersive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wave normal and Poynting vector calculations using the Cassini radio and plasma wave instrument
George Hospodarsky,T. F. Averkamp,William S. Kurth,D. A. Gurnett,Michele K. Dougherty,Umran S. Inan,T. G. Wood +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the wave normal and poynting vector measurements from the Cassini radio and plasma wave instrument (RPWS) were used to examine the propagation characteristics of various plasma waves during the Earth flyby on August 18, 1999.
Journal ArticleDOI
Earth’s Electromagnetic Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the essential role of Earth's internal magnetic field in defining the magnetosphere through its interactions with the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field is briefly outlined, and ground and satellite observations are discussed in the light of their contributions to understanding the global electric circuit and for EM induction studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whistler propagation in the plasmapause
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that whistlers can be guided by a single transverse gradient in density when there is a gradient in the background magnetic field in the same direction as a density gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling of field‐aligned guided echoes in the plasmasphere
Shing F. Fung,James L. Green +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the conditions under which high frequency (f>>f(sub uh)) long-range extraordinary-mode discrete field-aligned echoes observed by the Radio Plasma Imager (RPI) on board the IMAGE satellite in the plasmasphere are investigated by ray tracing modeling.

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.
