Magnetospheric Physics: Plasma Sheet
Scientific paper
The first optical measurement of He+ ions in the plasma sheet was successful by using the XUV scanner onboard Planet-B. The intensity of He II (304 Å) was ~0.02 Rayleigh. This result encourages future imaging missions for the whole magnetosphere by detecting He II (304 Å) emission. This is also a proof of the existence of cold plasmas in the plasma sheet. The existence of cold ions brings a new question: How can they remain cold in the plasma sheet?
