Features of the processes of ion heating in polar boundary of the night auroral oval
Abstract
Investigation of the processes of ion heating in polar boundary of the night auroral oval measured by INTERBALL-2 (Auroral probe) is presented. Measurements of particles and waves were made on altitude about 20000 kn. Feature of the orbits was the satellite slid along auroral oval and stay long time in the auroral zone. It were cases chosen when the polar boundary moved and passed through satellite. Particular attention is given to ions heating at this border and to ion heating position in relation to polar boundary of particle precipitation.
