Characterising electron butterfly pitch angle distributions in the magnetosphere through observations and simulations

The Imaging Electron Spectrometer (IES) on the Polar satellite has measured the average characteristics of the equatorial electron pitch angle distributions (PADs) in the midnight sector as a function of radial distance out to the 9 <I>R</I><sub>E</sub> apogee of the Polar...
