The early phase of the extraordinary solar energetic particle 20 January, 2005 event having the highest peak flux of any SEP in the past 50 years of protons with energies > 100 MeV is studied. Solar energetic particles (>16 MeV) entry to the Earth’s magnetosphere on January 20, 2005 under northward interplanetary magnetic field conditions is considered based on multi-satellite data analysis and magnetic field simulation. Solar wind parameters and interplanetary magnetic field data, as well as calculations in terms of the A2000 magnetospheric magnetic field model were used to specify conditions in the Earth’s environment corresponding to solar proton event. It was shown that during the early phase of the event energetic particle penetration into the magnetosphere took place in the regions on the magnetopause where the magnetospheric and interplanetary magnetic field vectors are parallel. Complex analysis of the experimental data on particle fluxes in the interplanetary medium (data from ACE spacecraft) and on low-altitude (POES) and geosynchronous (GOES) orbits inside the Earth’s magnetosphere show two regions on the magnetopause responsible for particle access to the magnetosphere: the near equatorial day-side region and open field lines window at the high-latitude magnetospheric boundary. Calculations in terms of A2000 magnetospheric magnetic field model and comparison with SuperDARN images support the link between high-latitude solar energetic particle precipitations and the region at the magnetopause where the magnetospheric field is coupled with northward IMF, allowing solar particles entrance into the magnetosphere and access to the northern polar cap.

This paper presents a case study of the plasma parameters in the magnetosheath, based on THEMIS measurements. As a theoretical tool we apply the self-consistent magnetosheath-magnetosphere model. A specific aspect of the model is that the positions of the bow shock and the magnetopause are self-consistently determined. In the magnetosheath the distribution of the velocity, density and temperature is calculated, based on the gas-dynamic theory. The magnetosphere module allows for the calculation of the magnetopause currents, confining the magnetic field into an arbitrary non-axisymmetric magnetopause. The variant of the Tsyganenko magnetic field model is applied as an internal magnetic field model. As solar wind monitor we use measurements from the WIND spacecraft. The results show that the model quite well reproduces the values of the ion density and velocity in the magnetosheath. The simlicity of the model allows calulations to be perforemed on a personal computer, which is one of the mean advantages of our model.

Summary We investigate to which extent the radially averaged magnetisation of the lithosphere can be recovered from the information content of a spherical harmonic model of the generated magnetic field when combined with few simple hypotheses. The results obtained show firstly that a hypothesis of magnetisation induced by a field of internal origin, even over a localised area, is not sufficient to recover uniquely the radially averaged magnetisation and, secondly, that this magnetisation can be recovered when a constant magnetisation direction is assumed. An algorithm to recover the magnetisation direction and distribution is then described and tested over a synthetic example. It requires to introduce a cost function that vanishes when estimated in a system of coordinates with its Z axis aligned with the magnetisation direction. Failing to find a vanishingly small value for the cost function is an indication that a constant magnetisation direction is not a valid hypothesis for the studied magnetic field model. The range of magnetisation directions that are compatible with the magnetic field model and a given noise level, can also be estimated. The whole process is illustrated by analysing a local, isolated maximum of the Martian magnetic field.

Monte Carlo simulations of the evolution of pulsars are carried out in order to compare with the recent measurement of the pulsar transverse velocity by Lyne & Lorimer (1994). The new electron density distribution model of Taylor & Cordes (1993) is adopted in the simulation. Accurate pulsar orbits in the Galactic gravitational field are calculated. It is found that the constant magnetic field model of pulsars can account for the new measurement of the pulsar transverse velocity and the apparent correlation between the strength of the magnetic field and the transverse velocity of the pulsars. The present finding confirms the validity of the constant magnetic field model of pulsars and consolidates the idea that the apparent correlation between the strength of the magnetic field and the transverse velocity of the pulsars is caused by observational selection effects.

Abstract. We derive a lithospheric magnetic field model up to equivalent Spherical Harmonic degree 1000 over southern Africa. We rely on a joint inversion of satellite, near-surface and ground magnetic field data. The input data set consists of magnetic field vector measurements from the CHAMP satellite, across-track magnetic field differences from the Swarm mission, the World Digital Magnetic Anomaly Map and magnetic field measurements from repeat stations and three local INTERMAGNET observatories. For the inversion scheme, we use the Revised-Spherical Cap Harmonic Analysis (R-SCHA), a regional analysis technique able to deal with magnetic field measurements obtained at different altitudes. The model is carefully assessed and displayed at different altitudes and its spectral content is compared to high resolution global lithospheric field models. By comparing the shape of its spectrum to a statistical power spectrum of Earth's lithospheric magnetic field, we infer the mean magnetic thickness and the mean magnetization over southern Africa.
