| 内容記述 | Enhancements of the temperature of electrons in spacecraft plasma wakes have been reported for numerous cases and this phenomenon has been discussed both empirically and theoretically. However, very few measurements seem to have been made of the ion temperature within plasma wakes-possibly because the great majority of ion measurements were focussed on obtaining geophysical parameters and, hence, were confined to the region ahead of the spacecraft. Recently, however, an enhancement of the temperature of ions was discovered in data obtained in the wake of the Space Shuttle during the Spacelab-2 mission. At the time of that publication, this was the only known observation of this type. Herein, we report an additional case of ion temperature enhancement in a plasma wake. The data were taken during the Tethered Satellite System Reflight mission (TSS-1R) in the wake of the tethered satellite during passive (no current flow) operations. The measurements were obtained with the Differential Ion Flux Probe, or DIFP. |
