The Influence of Oxygen Ions on the Formation of a Thin Current Sheet in the Magnetotail
Cosmic Research, USA. 2023. Vol. 61. No. 3. P. 218–231.
A thin current sheet in the Earth’s magnetotail with characteristic thickness of one to several proton gyroradii is often observed during magnetospheric disturbances named substorms, when a relatively thick current configuration in the magnetotail is narrowed to an extremely small thickness and then can spontaneously be destroyed. The current-sheet destruction is usually accompanied by such active processes as plasma acceleration and heating, as well as generation of an induced electric field and magnetohydrodynamic waves. In this paper, we developed and investigated a model of formation of a thin current sheet in which, along with protons, we have taken into account single-charged oxygen ions coming from the ionosphere into the magnetotail current sheet during magnetically active periods. The aim of this simulation is to study the peculiarities of thin current-sheet formation in two-component plasma and investigate its structure. It is shown that equilibrium configuration can have some characteristic properties. In particular, if the system consists only of protons or heavy ions, single-scale current equilibrium supported by quasi-adiabatic particles is formed. When a current sheet is formed in plasma that consists of a mixture of protons and oxygen ions in comparable concentrations, a current sheet can be formed with heavy ions as current carriers and chaotic proton trajectories that make a negative contribution to the current, due to which the current-density profile becomes bifurcated with the minimum at the center and maxima at the periphery of the sheet. The results may be useful for the interpretation of observational data in the Earth’s magnetotail.

Задача о возбуждении бегущих фонон-поляритонных волн на поверхности полярного кристалла падающей извне световой волной (с частотой, близкой к частоте решеточных колебаний) решена теоретически только для бесконечной открытой поверхности кристалла. В случаях, когда часть поверхности покрыта металлической маской, препятствующей проникновению возбуждающего излучения к атомам среды, и эта маска имеет произвольную форму, общепризнанного решения неоднородной задачи нет. ...

We study coherent electric manipulation of magnetic field induced localized states at a double kink of a helical edge in a HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well. An in-plane magnetic field opens a gap in the one-dimensional (1D) edge spectrum, while changes in the edge orientation generate localized in-gap states at the kinks. We show that, for suitable ...

In the circular restricted three-body problem, families of periodic and quasi-periodic orbits exist in the vicinity of the libration points and are of significant interest for practical applications. This work presents a neural network-based algorithm for orbit construction and station-keeping, applicable to both periodic and quasi-periodic orbits near collinear libration points. The method employs a ...

We provide an infinite series of commutative finite-dimensional Gorenstein local algebras A_n for n ≥ 2. We give an elementary proof that the maximal ideal of every algebra A_n possesses a one-dimensional subspace that is different from the socle and invariant under the automorphism group of A_n. The latter implies that the algebras A_n fail ...

An inverse problem of reconstructing the turbulent exchange tensor from large archives of observed wind profiles within the Åkerblom–Ekman (A-E) model framework is investigated using high-vertical-resolution radiosonde observations. The reconstructed tensor provides improved agreement between modeled and observed wind profiles compared to classical formulations based on real turbulent exchange coefficient. Instead of the classical A-E ...

We analyze the interaction of a quasi-periodic subsystem, in which two-, three-, and four- frequency quasi-periodic oscillations are possible, with a chaotic subsystem. A discrete version is obtained via the Euler scheme from the corresponding flow model. The dynamics of individual subsystems are discussed, including quasi-periodic bifurcations of invariant tori and the occur rence of ...

Conformational space of polyphenylenevinylene oligomers is systematically investigated computationally at energies relevant for room temperature dynamics in a solvent and in a solid state. Our calculations show that optimal oligomer structures are essentially planar. However, lack of a deep minimum at the planar geometry allows for large molecular deformations even at very low temperatures. At ...

The solar wind ion transport across the magnetopause is one of the main sources of plasma for the Earth's magnetotail. Such a transport is supported by various dynamic processes at the flank magnetopause, where wave-particle interactions play a crucial role in ion flow thermalization and diffusion across magnetic field surfaces of the magnetopause tangential discontinuity. ...

Earth's magnetotail is filled with solar wind and ionospheric electrons, whose initial energies are significantly lower than the typical energies (temperatures) of plasmasheet electrons. One of the most common mechanisms responsible for heating of solar wind and ionospheric electrons in Earth's magnetotail is adiabatic heating caused by earthward convection of these electrons from the deep ...
