  1. Fate of cold ions in the inner magnetosphere: energization and drift inferred from morphology and mass dependence M. Yamauchi1, I. Dandouras2, H. Reme2, Y.

  2. a zoo of various patterns North-south symmetry of trapped particle motion for fixed MLT ⇒ inbound-outbound asymmetry = temporal change of 1-2 hour

  3. Cluster Statistics Decay in time partly came from rapid degradation of the sensor

  4. (a) Vertical stripes: Nearly vertical in the spectrogram, extending from the about 10 keV to sub-keV (dispersion is very weak). Only found near midnight during substorms. Mostly inbound-outbound asymmetric (life time~1h), indicating substorm injection. (b) Wedge-like energy-latitude dispersed sub-keV ions: Stronger dispersion than (a), at slightly lower energy (up to few keV). Often found in the morning to noon sectors some hours after a substorm.Often inbound-outbound asymmetric, but can yet be explained by ion drift (next figure) of <0.1 keV ion source. (c) Short bursts of low-energy ions: a peak energy flux less than 100 eV but not thermal. Found all local time without clear relation to geomagnetic activities. Often inbound-outbound asymmetric (life time~1h), indicating a local phenomena. (d) Warm trapped ions confined near equator: tens eV to a few hundred eV without dispersion.Found all local time without clear relation to geomagnetic activities. Comparison to different SC indicates life time~1h, indicating a local phenomena.

  5. Comparison of observation and ion drift simulation. 0.1 keV t ≈ 6 hr t ≈ 4 hr Cool source (<0.1 keV, but not cold) can cause wedge-like dispersed sub-keV ions with its inbound-outbound asymmetry even at noon, and hot source can cause ion band (keV). Due to different drift velocity, two population has different O/H ratio.

  6. Next:O+/H+ and He+/H+ differences 2001-2006 (~300 relatively clean data out of ~760 traversals) (a) Vertical stripes types (a)-(c) Appearances of H+, He+, and O+ are not correlated

  7. (b) Wedge-like energy-latitude dispersed ions Timing & energy are quite different among H+, He+, and O+ (drift theory predicts same energy-time diagram for all species).

  8. (c) Short bursts of low-energy ions: (d) Warm trapped ions confined near equator Unlike most H+ bursts, He+ bursts (time scale~1h) are in perpendicular direction. It is also independent from O+, indicating local heating of He+ only. Equatorially-confined hot ions sometime show E(H+) < E(He+) while majority is E(H+) = E(He+).

  9. Conclusions & Future Observations • There must be filtering mechanisms that select only cold He+ and separates them from H+ and O+ for both energization and transportation. • We need more investigation on Mass dependency  Nitrogen Ion TRacing Observatory (NITRO) for next ESA's M-class call Sprinter meeting: Saturday 11:30-16:00 (after coffee break)

  13. Next:O+/H+ and He+/H+ differences 2001-2006 (~300 relatively clean data out of ~760 traversals) (a) Vertical stripes types (a)-(c) Appearances of H+, He+, and O+ are not correlated

  14. (b) Wedge-like energy-latitude dispersed ions p/a < 45° p/a ≈ 90° cf. drift theory predicts same energy-time diagram for all species

  15. (c) Short bursts of low-energy ions: Unlike majority of H+ bursts, He+ bursts are mostly in perpendicular direction and time scale ~ 1h. Even independent from O+, indicating local heating of He+ only.

  16. (d) Warm trapped ions confined near equator Equatorially-confined hot ions sometime show E(H+) < E(He+) while majority is E(H+) = E(He+). He+ is certainly heated e.g. by He cyclotron waves (1980’s) equator
