Title: | Empirical Model of the Inner Magnetosphere H+ Pitch Angle Distributions | Authors: | De Benedetti, Jacopo MILILLO, Anna Orsini, S. MURA, Alessandro DE ANGELIS, Elisabetta Daglis, I.A. |
Issue Date: | 2005 | Volume: | The Inner Magnetosphere: Physics and Modelling | Abstract: | An empirical model is presented in order to describe the pitch angle distributions of H+ particles in inner magnetosphere. The data analysis is based on three-year observations made by the AMPTE/CCE/CHEM instrument in the energy range 1-300 keV and in the L-shell range 3-9, using the average proton fluxes with AE < 100 nT. The model consists of a multi-parametric functional form, that depends on pitch angle, energy, L-shell and a few independent factors. The factors are determined for every magnetic local time. This is the first model, able to accurately reproduce the average proton pitch angle distributions in the whole inner magnetosphere, revealing interesting statistical features. Many of these features have been already evidenced by previous studies and can be explained by processes theoretically interpreted. Furthermore, the model outlines some new features never analyzed before. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/34113 | URL: | https://www.wiley.com/en-us/The+Inner+Magnetosphere:+Physics+and+Modeling-p-9781118666098 | ISBN: | 9780875904207 9781118666098 |
