Acceleration and heating in the auroral magnetosphere by current driven electrostatic ion cyclotron turbulence
A numerical MHD model is developed to investigate acceleration and heating of both thermal and auroral plasma. This is done for magnetospheric flux tubes in which intensive field aligned currents flow. To give each of these tubes, the empirical Tsyganenko model of the magnetospheric field is used. T...
