The dipole configuration of the Earth’s magnetic field allows for the trapping of highly energetic particles, which form the radiation belts. Although significant advances have been made in ...
Van Allen radiation belts consist of relativistic electrons trapped by Earth's magnetic field. Trapped electrons often drift azimuthally around Earth and display a butterfly pitch angle distribution ...
Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology for the seminar "EMIC-Driven Electron Precipitation: Findings from LEO Observations" on Thursday, Feb. 5 at 11 a.m. by Luisa Capannolo, ...
Panel (a) shows the trajectory of MSS1-A crossing the SAA on a geographic map, the color indicates the integral flux of 40-750 keV electrons, accompanied by L-shell contour lines. The star marks the ...
