Scientific paper

Some structures in the geomagnetic tail observed by the Prognoz 9 and ISEE spacecraft as 'magnetic flux ropes' are identified, and new features are emphasized. The structures are associated with considerable fluxes of energetic ions and electrons. Particles are effectively energized at magnetic field discontinuities, resulting in the generation of spectra extending up to MeV energies. An external field source (i.e., the interplanetary magnetic field) may be of essential importance for the generation of the flux ropes whose axes lie in the cross-tail direction.
