Scientific paper

A theoretical study shows that the appearance of a longitudinal electric field on auroral lines of force, connected with the existence of intense electron fluxes from the near-equatorial region and leading to the acceleration of auroral electrons, is complicated by the existence of a relatively dense ionospheric plasma hindering the penetration of the longitudinal field to low altitudes. A kinetic model is developed for such longitudinal electrostatic structures in auroral flux tubes. The model yields a consistent solution for the entire tube, obtained by matching solutions at its 'quasi-neutral' parts with a solution of double-layer type.
