Scientific paper

In the present study, 14 events of interplanetary magnetic field dips are identified. Eleven of these are found to be associated with significant enhancements in the flux of electrons of energies of approximately 100 eV. Five (of the eleven) are characterized by significant changes in the magnetic field direction, and six are not. Thus, even though an electron enhancement is usually seen at a dip, the enhancement need not be always associated with magnetic reconnection, for which a directional change is essential. It appears that some events involve local acceleration, possibly the results of reconnection, while others may involve electrons injected onto the field line at a remote point.
