Suprathermal Outflowing H+ Ions in the Lobe Driven by an Interplanetary Shock: 2. A 3D Global Hybrid Simulation
Mouikis, C. G.; Wang, Chih-Ping; Wang, Xueyi +2 more
We conduct a global hybrid simulation of an observation event to affirm that an interplanetary (IP) shock can drive significant suprathermal (tens to hundreds of eV) H+ outflows from the polar cap. The event showed that a spacecraft in the lobe at ∼6.5 RE altitude above the polar cap observed the appearance of suprathermal ou…
Characterization of Magnetic Flux Contents for Two Flux Transfer Events From Both In Situ and Ionospheric Observations
Hasegawa, Hiroshi; Wang, Shuo; Hu, Qiang +2 more
Flux transfer events (FTEs) are a type of magnetospheric phenomena that exhibit distinctive observational signatures from the in situ spacecraft measurements. They are generally believed to possess a magnetic field configuration of a magnetic flux rope and formed through magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause, sometimes accompanied with…
