摘要: [1] We use Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) data acquired on 17 March 2008 between 10:22 10:32 UT to study the mechanism transient electron injection into loss cone oscillatory bursty bulk flow (BBF) braking. During braking, regions piled-up magnetic fluxes are formed. Perpendicular anisotropy observed in these (presumably caused by betatron perpendicular heating) may be a free-energy source coexisting whistler waves. Parallel electrons with energies 1 5 keV disappear inside regions, auroral forms (both rather discrete arcs diffuse-like aurora around arcs) simultaneously ground all-sky imager at Fort Yukon. We quasi-linear theory resonant interaction waves also estimate effectiveness nonlinear capture strong suggest that is by: (1) scattering (2) parallel acceleration captured stronger
