Scientific paper
A gridded spherical electrostatic analyzer aboard Injun 5 has been used to measure fluxes of thermal and hyperthermal electrons at subauroral altitudes in the midnight sector of the northern ionosphere between heights of 2500 and 850 km. Observations indicate that (1) at trough latitudes elevated electron temperatures in the topside ionosphere are mostly produced by sources other than conjugate photoelectrons, and (2) at subtrough latitudes, in the Atlantic Ocean-North American longitude sector, conjugate photoelectrons contributed significantly to the heating of topside electrons. Much of the conjugate photoelectron energy is deposited at altitudes above 2500 km and then conducted along magnetic field lines into the ionosphere.
