Ion Velocity Distributions in Inhomogeneous and Time-dependent Auroral Situations
Aurorae often break down into elongated filaments parallel to the geomagnetic field lines (B) with cylindrically symmetric structures. The object of this thesis is to study the ion distribution function and transport properties in response to the sudden introduction of a radial electric field (E) in...
