Scientific paper

The primary purposes of the Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracing Explorers (AMPTE) program were: (1) to carry out the release and monitoring of lithium and barium ions in the solar wind and within the distant magnetosphere in order to study the access of solar wind ions to the magnetosphere, the convective-diffusive transport and energization of magnetospheric particles, and the instabilities and wave-particle interactions associated with the release and the subsequent evolution of the injected clouds; and (2) to generate massive release of barium in the dawn and dusk magnetosheath in order to create visible artificial comets in the flowing solar wind plasma within which studies of diamagnetic effects, ionization, momentum exchange, ion transport, and visible phenomena could be made.
