Abstract [en]

We studied O+ drift-bounce resonance using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data. A case study of an event on 17 February 2016 shows that O+ flux oscillations at similar to 10-30 keV occurred at MLT similar to 5 hr and L similar to 8-9 during a storm recovery phase. These flux oscillations were accompanied by a toroidal Pc5 wave and a high-speed solar wind (similar to 550 km/s). The azimuthal wave number (m-number) of this Pc5 wave was found to be approximately -2. The O+/H+ flux ratio was enhanced at similar to 10-30 keV corresponding to the O+ flux oscillations without any clear variations of H+ fluxes, indicating the selective acceleration of O+ ions by the drift-bounce resonance. A search for similar events in the time period from September 2015 to March 2017 yielded 12 events. These events were mainly observed in the dawn to the afternoon region at L similar to 7-12 when the solar wind speed is high, and all of them were simultaneously identified on the ground, indicating low m-number. Correlation analysis revealed that the O+/H+ energy density ratio has the highest correlation coefficient with peak power of the electric field in the azimuthal component (E-a). This statistical result supports the selective acceleration of O+ due to the N = 2 drift-bounce resonance.
