Scientific paper

The Prognoz-7 plasma spectrometer revealed the existence of isolated quasi-periodic plasma bursts with a characteristic duration of 20-25 min in the magnetospheric boundary layer on force lines leading away to the tail. Part of these bursts exhibit a characteristic time variation of particle flux and energy. It is suggested that the bursts are associated with unsteady diffusion or with magnetic field reconnection at the boundary of the magnetosphere.
