Scientific paper

Simultaneous measurement of ELF emissions and bremsstrahlung X-rays were made by using a balloon borne experiment flow from Fairbanks, Alaska, on September 30, 1976. Several intense auroral X-ray bursts of 2-3 minute duration were detected that have been interpreted to be the result of relativistic electron precipitation (REP). Simultaneously, the intensity of ELF emissions increased and was also observed to have periodicities similar to those in the X ray flux. These combined measurements are evidence of magnetospheric wave-particle processes contributing to electron precipitation. It is postulated that this REP event result from ELF wave and electron interaction, possibly triggered by the ULF occurrence rather than directly by ULF electron interactions.
