TWINS stereoscopic imaging of multiple peaks in the ring current
(2020-06-05)
Global, ion equatorial flux distributions and energy spectra are presented from stereoscopic Two Wide-Angle Imaging Neutral-Atom Spectrometers (TWINS) 1 and TWINS 2 energetic neutral atom (ENA) images for two time periods, ...
Evolution of CIR storm on 22 July 2009
(2020-06-09)
Global images of ion intensities are deconvolved from TWINS ENA images during the main and recovery phase of a CIR storm on 22 July 2009. The global spatial ion images taken at different times, along with solar wind data, ...
Evolution of low-altitude and ring current ENA emissions from a moderate magnetospheric storm: Continuous and simultaneous TWINS observations
(2020-06-12)
The moderate storm of 22 July 2009 is the largest measured during the extended solar minimum between December 2006 and March 2010. We present observations of this storm made by the two wide-angle imaging neutral-atom ...
Global observations of ring current dynamics during corotating interaction region-driven geomagnetic storms in 2008
(2020-06-12)
We examine the evolution of the ring current during the main and early recovery phases of three geomagnetic storms driven by corotating interaction regions. The equatorial energy density profiles of 5-30 keV ions are ...
Global images of trapped ring current ions during main phase of 17 March 2015 geomagnetic storm as observed by TWINS
(2020-06-03)
A unique view of the trapped particles in the inner magnetosphere provided by energetic neutral atom (ENA) imaging is used to observe the dynamics of the spatial structure and the pitch angle anisotropy on a global scale ...
The Comprehensive Inner Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Model
(2020-06-05)
Simulation studies of the Earth's radiation belts and ring current are very useful in understanding the acceleration, transport, and loss of energetic particles. Recently, the Comprehensive Ring Current Model (CRCM) and ...
Comparison of TWINS and THEMIS observations of proton pitch angle distributions in the ring current during the 29 May 2010 geomagnetic storm
(2020-06-09)
The first comparison between energy-dependent ion pitch angle distributions in the ring current deconvolved from Two Wide-angle Imagining Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) energetic neutral atom (ENA) images and measured ...
