O<sup>+</sup> heating associated with strong wave activity in the high altitude cusp and mantle

We use the Cluster spacecraft to study three events with intense waves and energetic oxygen ions (O<sup>+</sup>) in the high altitude cusp and mantle. The ion energies considered are of the order 1000 eV and higher, observed above an altitude of 8 earth radii together with high wave p...
