Determining the role of neglected N+ heavy ions in the earth’s inner magnetosphere
… in the Earth’s terrestrial ionosphere and magnetosphere can have significant impacts on the particle dynamics in the Earth’s magnetosphere-ionosphere system. The contribution of N+ to the ring current population, in addition to that of O+, has long been neglected, primarily because most …

Ion Temperatures in Earth's Inner Magnetosphere: Ring Current Dynamics, Transient Effects, and Data-Model Comparisons
Earth's magnetosphere is an inherently complex, strongly nonlinear system with intrinsic coupling between internal and external drivers. In general, magnetospheric systems can be understood as a balance between multiple regions which all exhibit unique plasma properties. The feedback processes …

Quantitative modeling of time-dependent phenomena in the magnetospheric magnetic field
… the determination of storm-time fields in the inner magnetosphere. Replacement of the tail current module with a more flexible representation also contributes to improved accuracy in the inner magnetosphere, and enables realistic variations in current strength and orientation over the entire …

UNDERSTANDING ION SPECTRAL DYNAMICS NEAR THE INNER EDGE OF THE PLASMA SHEET
<p>The inner magnetosphere is a highly dynamic space environment in which particles strongly interact with the magnetic and electric fields. During the last few decades, several missions have recorded the presence of dynamic spectral features of energetic ions in in situ measurements, which …

Remote sensing of Jupiter's magnetospheric dynamics
… effect of hot plasma injection in the middle to inner magnetosphere. The lo- cation of the second oval feature lies between the Ganymede and Europa moon footprint contours between 150 and 240 degrees system III longitude, corresponding to a source in the inner magnetosphere between 9 and 13 RJ . …

Investigation of Particle Trajectories in the Near-Earth Night-Side Magnetosphere Using Riometers
Injections of electrons into the inner magnetosphere play an important role in radiation belt and ring current dynamics. Injections have historically been studied primarily by data from particle detectors on satellites, causing gaps in our knowledge because these events are spatially large and …

Theoretical studies of the pulsar magnetosphere
Quantitative models of the plasma magnetosphere surrounding a rotating. magnetized. neutron star (pulsar) are studied in this thesis. Both the aligned model (rotation axis parallel to magnetic axis) and the nonaligned model are considered. An energy analysis is performed on two explicit models of …

High-latitude coupling processes between thermospheric circulation and solar wind driven magnetospheric currents and plasma convection
… Magnetic Field (IMF) interaction with the Earth magnetosphere are highly variable parts of the complex dynamic plasma environment, which represent the coupled Magnetosphere – Ionosphere – Thermosphere (MIT) system. The solar wind and IMF interactions transfer energy to the MIT system via …

Motion of charged particles in pulsar magnetospheres
The motion of charges in the magnetosphere of pulsars is studied from two complementary points of view: (i) For the case of aligned magnetic and rotational axes we solve a fluid version of the Lorentz-Dirac equation, in the Landau approximation, for a two-component plasma. We start from an …

Quantification of the spatial structure and temporal variability of Earth's exosphere using optical tomography
… of the ring current using the Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere Ionosphere model and the incorporation of the time-dependent H density specification yields realistic temporal evolution of ring current energetics and motivates future consideration of exospheric dynamics during geomagnetic …

A statistical study of plasmawaves and energetic particles in the outer magnetosphere
The Earth magnetosphere contains energetic particles undergoing specific motions around Earth's magnetic field, and interacting with a variety of waves. The dynamics of energetic particles are often described in terms of three kinds of adiabatic invariants. Energetic electrons are often unstable to …

Ultra-Low Frequency Waves at Middle Latitudes During Substorms: Observations and Modeling
… The coupling between the solar wind and the inner magnetosphere of the Earth can occur at the night side and on the day side of the Earth. The exact mechanism of coupling between the oscillations in the solar wind and the magnetic pulsations detected in these parts of the magnetosphere is …
