Electron acceleration in the near-Earth magnetotail: test particle calculations in electromagnetic fields from two-dimensional hybrid simulations
Wu, Mingyu; Du, Aimin; Guo, Zhifang
Electron acceleration in the near-Earth magnetotail during the substorm period is still an unresolved question. In this paper, by tracing electron trajectories in the dynamically evolving electromagnetic fields obtained from a two-dimensional (2D) global hybrid simulation, we investigate electron acceleration in the near-Earth magnetotail during d…
Double-cusp simulation during northward IMF using 3D PIC global code
Esmaeili, Amin; Kalaee, Mohammad Javad
The cusp has important effects on the transportation of particles and their energy from the solar wind to the magnetosphere, and ionosphere, and high-altitude atmosphere. The cusp can be considered to be a part of the magnetospheric boundary layer with weaker magnetic fields. It has been studied since 1971 by different satellite observations. Desp…
Nonlinear evolution of oblique whistler waves in radiation belts
Sharma, R. P.; Sharma, Swati; Nandal, P. +1 more
Magnetic power spectrum and formation of coherent structures have been investigated in the present work applicable to Van Allen radiation belt. The nonlinear interaction of high frequency oblique whistler wave and low frequency magnetosonic wave has been investigated. Simulation was performed of the coupled equation of these two waves. The nonline…
Energy budget during an isolated substorm using measurements of multi satellites and geomagnetic indices
Dunlop, M. W.; Ma, Yuduan; Yang, Jian +1 more
Measurements of multi satellites and geomagnetic indices are used to investigate the energy budget during an isolated substorm. The calculation of the energy transfer from the solar wind to the magnetosphere (parameter
