| Research Abstract |
In the present study, the main objective is to study the ion-wave-electron coupling in space plasmas based on the development of new observation system, data analyses of spacecraft observations and computer experiments. The representative achievements are as follows. In the view point of spacecraft observation technique, the multiple observations via a fleet of spacecraft are important in order to study ion-wave-electron coupling. Therefore, the development of light-weight plasma wave observation system is essential for future space missions. We succeeded in developing the light-weight receiver using the digital technologies and onboard software technique. The developed plasma wave receiver system was onboard SS-520-2 rocket and it functioned perfectly during the flight. This receiver system I provides a typical model of plasma wave receiver system for future space missions. We also developed the wave-particle correlator, which realizes the direct calculation of correlation between observed plasma waves and particles. We examined its capability and characteristics using computer experiments and designed it on one FPGA chip. In the spacecraft data analyses, we found a proof that the whistler mode waves trigger the dayside magnetic reconnection. Since whistler-mode waves are related to electron dynamics, we can show the link of whistler mode waves as microscopic phenomena with the magnetic reconnection as the macroscopic phenomena. In the computer experiments, we focused on electron/ion beam instabilities and their nonlinear evolutions. Based on many runs of computer experiments, we showed the parametric dependence of their nonlinear evolutions.
