Study of magnetospheric boundaries by the simultaneous observations of solar and magnetospheric particles

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4318175
A study of magnetospheric boundaries was made employing simulteneous measurements of solar and magnetospheric electrons, protons, and alpha particles during the solar particle event of April 12, 1969. The instruments aboard the spin-stabilized satellite OV1-19(1969126C) provided large energy ranges, numerous energy channels, and detailed pitch-angle distributions electrons, 24 channels, 53 keV to 5.3 MeV; p, 20 channels, 185 keV to 130 MeV; alpha, 5 channels, 850 keV to 9.0 MeV). The 105 degree inclination of the OV1-19 gave boundary measurements at widely separated local times. (GRA)
