Distribution of whistler mode bursts at Venus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors detected several thousand impulsive whistler mode noise bursts by the Pioneer Venus wave instrument during the first 10 seasons with night-side traversals at low altitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gamma ray flashes due to plasma processes in the atmosphere: Role of whistler waves

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed study of the instability which develops in the lower stratosphere when a beam of hot magnetized electrons interacts with whistler waves was presented, and it was shown that the growth rate of such instability depends on the number density of hot electrons and on their collision rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of the lower hybrid resonance frequency over the regions of gathering earthquakes using DEMETER data

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the measurements from the DEMETER satellite for 3 years and calculated the maps of LHR frequency over the globe, and the map of VLF spectral intensity at the frequencies of Alpha navigation transmitters, demonstrating a significant dependence of the spectral intensity in the transmitter conjugate region on the relation between the signal frequency and the LHR frequencies above the observation point.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ducting of wave energy by field-aligned current sheets

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical treatment of the modes of oscillation of an idealized current sheet (in which there is no perpendicular temperature) is given, and a simple explanation of how the ducted “whistler” mode can arise is given.
Journal ArticleDOI

MLR events and associated triggered emissions observed by DEMETER

TL;DR: An overview of different sets of new Magnetospheric Line Radiation (MLR) observed by the satellite DEMETER can be found in this article, where the authors show that some MLR events are due to man-made PLHR which may suffer a nonlinear gyro-resonant interaction at the magnetic equator.

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.
