Abstract. We analyse two crossings of the polar cusp at mid-altitudes (≈4 RE) by Cluster in order to study the structure of field-aligned currents associated with the injection of magnetosheath plasma. The current density is deduced independently from magnetic field and from particle flux measurements. In both cases the data are carefully tested. Magnetic fluctuations are analysed by discriminating between those compatible with the plane current sheet hypothesis under which the current density can be calculated safely, and those resulting from filamentary current structures. At medium transverse scales (80 km), the structure of the currents is more often tube-like than sheet-like, and current sheets are not systematically elongated in the east-west direction. The total particle current is calculated from the electron and ion measurements. For electrons, the full energy range is taken into account, from above the photoelectron threshold up to 32 keV. Magnetosheath plasma injections are well correlated with pairs of field-aligned currents. In both cases, the parallel current is mainly carried by electrons while ions contribute for about 20%. In the plane current sheets, the ratio between magnetic and particle currents shows large variations between 0.4 and 1.1. These fluctuations can be explained by the convective motion of the current sheets.

AbstractDuring a period of 60 days around the time when the HEOS 2 satellite penetrated the orbital plane of Comet Kohoutek (1973f) the micro-meteoroid experiment on board registered an excessive particle flux. These particles are identified with those originated in Comet Kohoutek. Orbit calculations show that their emission occurred outside 3.8 AU from the sun. The ratio of the force of radiation pressure to that of gravity of these particles was determined to ß =1 ± 0.1, their mass has been measured from the satellite data (10−13g to 10−11 g). The velocity and the rate of dust particles emitted from the comet is studied on the basis of the theory of dust comets formulated by Finson and Probstein. An emission rate of appr. 1.2 × 1018 particles per second in the size range corresponding to 0.9 ≤ ß < 1.1 and an emission velocity of appr. 0.5 km/sec match best the observed data.
