Scientific paper

The precipitation of energetic electrons into the atmosphere is investigated with simultaneous measurements of bremsstrahlung X-rays, emitted from different local time sectors. The measurements were performed from the low-altitude, polar-orbiting satellite P78-1 with an array of X-ray spectrometers (21-139 keV). Magnetic local-time (MLT) profiles of the intensities and energy spectra were obtained for a broad span of L values. From approximately 0930 to 1400 MLT the average X-ray intensity was found to decrease with increasing magnetic local time, whereas from 2200 to 0200 MLT no clear trend with local time was observed. The data presented are noted to correspond closely with the relative electron precipitation (REP)-type events, though no evidence of a distinct group of REP was found.
