Scientific paper

Photometric data from the Iakutsk station are used to study the spectral, dynamic, and statistical characteristics of nightglow variations equatorward of the diffuse auroral zone due to the explosive phase of a magnetospheric substorm. It is shown that observed stepwise enhancements of the 557.7 and 630.0 nm emissions are probably caused by fluxes of precipitating low-energy electrons (0.25-1 keV), which are generated in the plasmasphere at the same time explosive-phase activation commences.
