Scientific paper

Upgoing and downgoing deuteron whistlers were found on VLF records made by the Intercosmos 5, 14, and 19 satellites in low geomagnetic latitudes even at heights 1000 km. To account for them, the admixture of M/Q=2 ions in the plasma model consisting of electrons and H+, He+ and 0+ ions was introduced. Relations derived for the calculation of characteristic frequencies in a five-component plasma are given, as well as the values of characteristic plasma frequencies calculated on this basis. The observed features of upgoing and downgoing deuteron whistlers are explained by the calculation results, and conclusions for plasma diagnostics are drawn. The significance of variations of the He+ content in the plasma of low geomagnetic latitudes for observations of downgoing proton and deuteron whistlers is revealed.
