Scientific paper

The spatial distributions of energetic ion and electron bursts on the IMP 7 and 8 satellites in the earth's magnetotail were studied. It was found that the ion bursts were more frequently detected in the dusk than in the dawn quarter of the neutral sheet whereas the electron bursts, more frequently in the dawn than the dusk quarter. The degree of dawn-dusk asymmetry is however energy dependent; the distribution for higher energy particle bursts exhibits higher degree of asymmetry. The morphologies of the distributions manifest themselves as seasonal variations of the most probable solar ecliptic latitudes at which the ion and electron bursts were observed. The amplitudes of the variations are about 25 deg with the seasonal variation for ions leading that for electrons by about 2 months.
