| 内容記述 | Observations of Io's torus indicate that the majority of ions have energies of 55-75 eV, with a high-energy tail extending up to the corotation energy. It was found that such a distribution can be established via the Coulomb cooling of ions heated at the corotation energy onto the cold 5-eV electrons. The energy E(asterisk) of the main body of the ions and the shape of the energy distribution are functions of the transport loss time. Matching E(asterisk) with the data (E/asterisk/ = 55-75 eV) requires transport loss times in the range 25-1000 days. |
