Scientific paper

Several upstream ion distributions having a gyrating signature have been identified with the 3DP/PESA-High analyser on board the WIND spacecraft. These distributions are observed at distances greater than 20 R_E from the Earth's bow shock. The distributions are observed in association with low frequency waves propagating quasi-parallel to the background magnetic field. By estimating the bulk velocity of the gyrating ions, we have found that the waves resonate with the particles. The observation of gyrating ions at large distances from the shock suggests their local production, probably from field-aligned beam disruption.
