Applicability of vacuum ultraviolet spectrometry to detecting neutral atom and molecule constituents in exhaust streams
A band of natural radio noise between the local electron plasma frequency and the upper hybrid resonance frequency is observed by the IMP-6 satellite. The band exists over a large range of geocentric radial distances extending from inside the plasmapause boundary to greater than 10 earth radii in the outer magnetosphere. The center frequency of the noise band decreases with increasing radial distance, and changes abruptly at the plasmapause boundary. The broadband electric field strength of this noise is very small, seldom exceeding 10 microvolts/meter, and probably could not be detected without using long electric antennas of IMP-6. It is believed that this noise is produced by incoherent Cerenkov emission from super-thermal electrons. In some cases a second very narrow noise band was observed at a frequency slightly above the second harmonic of the electron gyrofrequency.
A method for obtaining plasma electron temperature and density, as well as the Mach number and flow velocity from the current-voltage characteristic of a flat-faced double probe, is presented. Calculated momentum fluxes of a flowing argon plasma obtained with this probe are compared with experimentally determined momentum fluxes. Reasonable agreement is obtained.
