Estimating the average energy of auroral electrons from 427.8 nm emission intensity measurements
Journal Title: Solar-Terrestrial Physics - Year 2024, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
We propose a method for estimating average energy of precipitating electrons from 427.8 nm emission intensity measurements. This method is based on the experimental dependence of the ratio of λ630.0 and λ427.8 nm emission intensities on the λ427.8 emission intensity and model calculations of the dependence of the average auroral electron energy on the I₆₃₀.₀/I₄₂₇.₈ ratio. We present numerical estimates of the influence of three factors on this dependence: the shape of the auroral electron energy spectrum, the atomic oxygen concentration, and the NO concentration. The dependence of the average energy of the auroral electron flux on the 427.8 nm emission intensity is obtained and its analytical approximation is presented.

SIMULATION STUDY OF THE ENERGETIC NEUTRAL ATOM (ENA) IMAGING MONITORING OF THE GEOMAGNETOSPHERE ON A LUNAR BASE
Since the moon’s revolution cycle is exactly the same as its rotation cycle, we can only see the moon always facing Earth in the same direction. Based on the clean particle radiation environment of the moon, a neutral at...
Dynamics of the field-aligned currents distribution asymmetry during substorms in the equinox season
We continue to study the physical processes occurring during the August 17, 2001 magnetospheric storm by analyzing the dynamics of the intensity of field-aligned currents (FACs) in Iijima—Potemra Region 1 in the polar io...
Studying the main characteristics of the Geminid meteor shower from baseline video observations in 2021
The Geminid meteor shower has been studied using data obtained by the method of baseline video observations during the period from December 01, 2021 to December 17, 2021. The meteors were examined in the brightness range...
NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF THE SPATIAL STRUCTURE OF ALFVÉN WAVES IN A FINITE PRESSURE PLASMA IN A DIPOLE MAGNETOSPHERE
We have carried out a numerical analysis of the spatial structure of Alfvén waves in a finite pressure inhomogeneous plasma in a dipole model of the magnetosphere. We have considered three magnetosphere models differing...
CALIBRATION OF SIBERIAN RADIOHELIOGRAPH ANTENNA GAINS USING REDUNDANCY
The paper describes application of standard gain calibration using redundancy for a 48-antenna prototype of Siberian Radioheliograph. Traditionally, for calibration, the visibilities were measured only between adjacent a...
