Scientific paper

During the magnetospheric disturbances of January 21, 2005 the MINIS balloon campaign observed intense X- ray bursts at three locations separated in L-shell and local time. These X-rays are bremsstrahlung radiation produced by highly relativistic (~1MeV) electrons precipitating out of the outer radiation belt. We will present a brief background on single-point observations from previous balloon campaigns and show the unique structure revealed by the MINIS multi-point observations. We then model the bremsstrahlung production and atmospheric scattering to obtain the energy spectrum and flux of precipitating electrons as a function of time at each of the balloon locations. This talk will focus on the spectral shape and the temporal variability of the spectra at each balloon.
