Scientific paper

An analysis of high time resolution energetic electron data from an ISEE 1 spacecraft crossing of the magnetopause on Nov. 6, 1977 is presented. Low-energy proton measurements were taken with an ultralow energy and charge analyzer and energetic electron measurements were made with an ultralow energy wide-angle telescope (ULEWAT). Electrons were observed in four rate channels between 75 and 1300 keV and particle angular distributions are provided. The ecliptic was scanned by the particle angular detector as the spacecraft rotated at 19.7 rpm. Trapped energetic electrons were found to drift from dusk to dawn by way of the midnight sector. The electrons which started at midnight met the magnetopause at the dawnside, were entrained on the field lines, and resulted in a filamentary small-scale structure. A diffusion time scale across the magnetosheath was determined to be a few seconds, and electrons diffused tailward or into the interplanetary medium
