摘要
A variety of plasma waves have been detected in the vicinity of the magnetopause by various spacecraft missions. In this paper, utilizing high-resolution data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we present new observations of simultaneous lower hybrid and ion solitary waves in the dusk flank region of Earth's magnetosphere. All four MMS spacecraft consistently observed this wave activity during their traversal from Earth's magnetosphere to the magnetosheath. Our analysis suggests that the lower hybrid drift waves, driven by lower-hybrid drift instability, were observed in correlation with density gradients. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that the entire ion bulk population drifts, which drives ion solitary waves. It is found that these waves play a crucial role in particle heating in the dusk flank region of Earth's magnetosphere. (c) 2024 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier B.V.
