Scientific paper

Models of auroral-electron acceleration by electrostatic shock waves are considered, based on the model electron beam calculated by Evans (1974) to account for the observed precipitating electron fluxes. Electron populations in the present models include a primary accelerated beam originating from the plasma sheet, secondary electrons, and energy-degraded and backscattered primary electrons produced by precipitating electrons of that beam. A feasible electrostatic shock model with appropriate ion populations is obtained from considerations of the conditions for the existence of shock solutions.
