... will take advantage of a new lanthanum-hexaboride cathode (LaB6 ) that is chemically compatible with hydrogen and will also support higher densities (up to 5 × 1013 cm−3 ). In particular, scaling shows that collisionless shocks are possible in H-plasmas at these higher densities and magnetic fields ...

... of angular frequency. It is seen from the figure that ki/kr in case of creation and Tromso damping is much larger than that in case of creation damping alone. It is found that ki is independent of frequency in case of creation damping . It can be seen from the figure that as frequency increases an a ...

... Most objects normally have no overall charge, which means that they are neutral. Each atom has an equal number of protons and electrons. So each positive charge is balanced by a negative charge. As a result, there is no overall electric force on an atom. Some objects, however, can become charged. Pr ...

Kinetic simulation of the electron-cyclotron maser instability: effect of

... In this work, we use a different approach. Like in Paper I, the particles and waves are simulated using a kinetic description. The used model does not explicitly include the spatial movement of the particles and waves and their spatial ditributions within the emission source, i.e., the parameters of ...

Since electrons are charged this corresponds to a current flowing in a wire which we know produces a magnetic field. Ferromagnetic materials are the only substances capable of being made into magnets; they are normally ...

Aurora



An aurora is a natural light display in the sky, predominantly seen in the high latitude (Arctic and Antarctic) regions. Auroras are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma, mainly in the form of electrons and protons, precipitate them into the upper atmosphere (thermosphere/exosphere), where their energy is lost. The resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying colour and complexity. The form of the aurora, occurring within bands around both polar regions, is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles. Precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere. Proton auroras are usually observed at lower latitudes. Different aspects of an aurora are elaborated in various sections below.
