Studies of electron and ion temperatures at 500 km altitude during sunrise using Indian SROSS C2 satellite

Solar dependence of electron and ion temperatures (T_e and T_i) in the ionosphere is studied using RPA data onboard SROSS C2 at an altitude of ∼500 km and 77°E longitude during early morning hours (04:00–07:00 LT) for three solar activities: solar minimum, moderate and maximum during winter, summer and equinox months in 10°S–20°N geomagnetic latitude. In winter the morning overshoot phenomenon is observed around 06:00 LT (T_e enhances to ∼4000 K) during low-solar activity and to T_e ∼ 3800 K, during higher solar activity. In summer, it is observed around 05:30 LT, but the rate of T_e enhancement is higher during moderate solar activity (∼2700 K/hr) than the low-solar activity (∼1700 K/hr). During equinox, this phenomenon is delayed and is observed around 06:00 LT (∼4200 K) during all three activities.

基于江门地下中微子实验的地球中微子信号研究

地球中微子是帮助人类认识地球内部结构和成分的一种可行手段。由于目前液闪探测器的体积太小,无法区分地幔的模型。江门地下中微子实验(JUNO)的液闪达到了20 kt,具有很强的观测优势。本研究基于LITHO1.0地球模型预测出JUNO的地球中微子事例率是(34.50±4.78)TNU。同时,研究结果显示地壳的放射性元素丰度误差对全球地壳中微子信号的影响显著大于地壳密度、地壳厚度误差所带来的影响。     

高纬极区离子速度分布函数多项式解及非相干散射谱计算

为更准确描述高纬极区电离层离子分布函数, 分别采用弛豫碰撞模型和麦克斯韦分子碰撞模型描述玻耳兹曼方程的碰撞项, 通过求解两种模型下的输运方程, 分别得到两种模型基于麦克斯韦分布下离子分布函数的13矩近似和基于双麦克斯韦分布下离子分布函数的16矩近似. 进一步根据Sheffield理论, 利用两种模型下离子分布函数的13矩和16矩近似, 计算了非相干散射谱, 并对结果进行对比分析. 结果表明, 相对于弛豫碰撞模型, 麦克斯韦分子碰撞模型能更好地描述电离层E层中离子与中性成分的相互作用. 相对于离子分布函数的13矩近似, 16矩近似更适合描述由于电场增加导致的离子温度各向异性特征.     

Effect of ion dynamics on the evolution of electron phase-space holes

The evolution of two-dimensional (2D) electron phase-space holes (electron holes) has been previously investigated with electrostatic Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations, which neglect ion dynamics. The electron holes are found to be unstable to the transverse instability, and their evolution is determined by the combined action between the transverse instability and the stabilization by the background magnetic field. In this paper, the effect of ion dynamics on the evolution of an electron hole is studied. In weakly magnetized plasma (Ω_e < ω_pe, where Ω_e and ω_pe are electron gyrofrequency and plasma frequency, respectively), the electron hole is still unstable to the transverse instability. However, it evolves a little faster and is destroyed in a shorter time when ion dynamics is considered. In strongly magnetized plasma (Ω_e > ω_pe), the electron hole is broken due to the lower hybrid waves, and its evolution is much faster.     

Update on the ESA-CAS Joint Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) Mission

The SMILE (Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer) mission aims at deepening our understanding of the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth magnetosphere. It is the first time that ESA and CAS jointly select, design, implement, launch, and operate a space mission. The mission was adopted by CAS in November 2016 and by ESA in March 2019 with a target launch date by the end of 2023.     

Solitary and periodic waves in magneto–rotating plasmas: Effect of the Kappa–Cairns distributed electrons

The nonlinear propagation of ion–acoustic (IA) waves in a magneto–rotating plasma is studied by considering the Kappa-Cairns electron distribution. Employing the perturbation scheme, Korteweg–de Vries equation is derived. It is seen that both positive and negative potential solitons can be supported in the present plasma model. The numerical results reveal that the Kappa-Cairns distributed electrons modify features of the electrostatic waves significantly. The effects of non–thermal parameters, plasma rotation frequency, ion temperature, and the wave propagation angle on electrostatic solitary wave structures are also discussed here. It is found that the plasma parameters considerably influence the propagation of IA waves in rotating plasmas. Furthermore, using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems to the K-dV equation, we have presented the existence of solitary and periodic traveling waves. Our study may be helpful to understand the behavior of ion–acoustic wave in the rotating plasma.
