亞暴注入

亞暴注入

亞暴注入(Substorm injections)磁層亞暴發生時,近地磁層尾部的能量粒子通量急劇增加,是磁層亞暴最重要的現象之一。儘管此現象在1960年代已經被發現(Arnoldy and Chan, 1969; Winckler, 1970),但是還沒有很滿意的解釋。

相關現象

作為最可靠的指標

此現象普遍作為亞暴開始時刻的標誌,幾乎每個亞暴都可以觀察到此現象的發生。

注入的粒子

包括能量從數十到數百KeV的電子和質子等離子,尚未觀測到有更低能量粒子的注入現象。(cutoff; e.g. Birn et al., 1997a)

無色散的注入

如果所有能量的粒子同時增強,則把此注入稱為無色散的注入(dispersionless injection,暫譯),而這樣的區域就稱為注入區域(injection region,暫譯),同時把此區域的內邊界稱為 “注入邊界”(injection boundary,暫譯) (McIlwain, 1974; Mauk and McIlwain, 1974; Reeves et al., 1991)

注入區域

一般來說,注入區域從距離地心4.3個Re(地球半徑)到15個Re(Friedel et al., 1996).。

經度範圍

此現象易發生於午夜前,局限於一個有限的經度範圍內,與亞暴電流楔(Substorm current wedge )所處區域相近。(see, e.g., the statistical results by Vagina et al., 1996). 一些觀測顯示,電子和質子的注入區域存在沿經度方向的分離,以整個區域的中心經度為準,質子偏西,電子偏東。(Birn et al., 1997a).

散射

在注入區域外,由於不同能量的粒子在磁場中有不同的漂移速度,因此會出現不同能量粒子的散射。除能量散射外,還觀測到了投擲角散射。(Walker et al., 1978; Greenspan et al., 1985). 注意通過對粒子在磁場中漂移的反演,由能量散射導致的通量增加,可估計最初注入位置的經度和發生時間。(e.g., Reeves et al., 1991; Shukhtina and Sergeev, 1991)

磁場

此現象常與本地磁場偶極化相關,尤其是無散射的注入。磁場的變化伴隨著強烈的感應電場。(e.g., Aggson et al.,1983)

精細結構

與其他的亞暴現象一樣,此現象顯示了亞暴當時的精細結構。(e.g., Belian et al., 1984)
