Scientific paper

The present investigation is concerned with the study of the orientation and motion of a flux transfer event (FTE), taking into account data obtained from the medium energy particle spectrometer (KED) on board the International Sun-Earth Explorer (ISEE) 2. The detailed analysis of the azimuthal asymmetries performed for one FTE shows that it is possible to organize the data according to the distance of the gyrocenter to a moving planar boundary. It is found that the particle intensities are a function only of pitch angle and this distance. The particle intensities change abruptly with distance within a fraction of a gyroradius. The resulting motion of the particle boundary of the FTE is like a wave, moving first outward, then inward with a rotation to maintain a net northward motion. The northward speed is of the order 50-100 km/s.
