There are very few exact solutions for the motion of a charged particle in specified magnetic field. These solutions have considerable theoretical as well as pedagogical value. In this talk I will briefly describe several known analytical solutions, such as motion in the equatorial plane of a dipole and in a constant gradient field. Particular attention will be given to a relatively unknown...

Energetic electron precipitations cause atmospheric ionization - a complicated process which depends on many parameters. We present our energetic particles precipitation model which consists of three main parts: Energetic electron sources; Coupled electron/photon transport in the earth atmosphere; RIOMETERs and Very Low Frequency (VLF) receivers response to energetic electron precipitations....

There is renewed interest in the Moon as a potential base for scientific experiments and space exploration. Earth's nearest neighbour is exposed directly to the solar wind and solar radiation, both of which present hazards to successful operations on the lunar surface. In this paper we present lunar wake simulation and analytic results and discuss them in the context of observations from the...

Accurate specification of the global distribution of ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave power in space is critical for determining the dynamics and acceleration of outer radiation belt electrons. Current radiation belt models use ULF wave radial diffusion coefficients which are analytic functions of Kp based on ULF wave statistics. In this presentation we show that these statistical based analytic...

Results of analysis of Cluster spacecraft data will be presented that show that intense ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the inner magnetosphere can be excited by the impact of interplanetary shocks and solar wind dynamic pressure variations. The observations reveal that such waves can be damped away rapidly in a few tens of minutes. We examine mechanisms of ULF wave damping for two...
