Scientific paper

Presented is an analysis of measurements of low-energy (below 30 keV) electron fluxes made by the low-Earth orbit satellite, Freja. These fluxes exhibit signatures characteristic of the electron microburst phenomenon, but are at the low end of the energy spectrum of such events. As previously reported, the good energy, time, and pitch angle resolution of the measurements allow determination of source position along the field line via a time-of-flight technique. The present analysis exploits these characteristics to analyze the full 20-month set of observations to gain a new statistical look at the microburst source region in three spatial dimensions. Also discussed is the dependence of the source position as a function of geomagnetic activity.
