Abstract

A brief discussion on nitrogen isoelectronic equivalents of tri-s-triazine that are obtained from successive replacement of CH groups by nitrogen atoms, is presented. The results reveal that all the species have a rigid planar structure and a conjugation system over the tricyclic ring, which is beneficial to their stabilities.

Abstract

Density functional theory is used to study the geometries, electronic structures, harmonic vibrational frequencies, and high-energy density material properties of 1,3,4,6,7,9,9b-heptaazaphenalene and its ten derivatives at the B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. Geometry studies show that all of the compounds have a highly symmetric structure with a planar and rigid heteroring.

Abstract

Kinetic‐scale magnetic holes (KSMHs) are structures characterized by a significant magnetic depression with a length scale on the order of the proton gyroradius. These structures have been investigated in recent studies in near‐Earth space, and found to be closely related to energy conversion and particle acceleration, wave‐particle interactions, magnetic reconnection, and turbulence at the kinetic‐scale. However, there are still several major issues of the KSMHs that need further study — including (a) the source of these structures (locally generated in near‐Earth space, or carried by the solar wind), (b) the environmental conditions leading to their generation, and (c) their spatio‐temporal characteristics. In this study, KSMHs in near‐Earth space are investigated statistically using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. Approximately 200,000 events were observed from September 2015 to March 2020. Occurrence rates of such structures in the solar wind, magnetosheath, and magnetotail were obtained. We find that KSMHs occur in the magnetosheath at rates far above their occurrence in the solar wind. This indicates that most of the structures are generated locally in the magnetosheath, rather than advected with the solar wind. Moreover, KSMHs occur in the downstream region of the quasi‐parallel shock at rates significantly higher than in the downstream region of the quasi‐perpendicular shock, indicating a relationship with the turbulent plasma environment. Close to the magnetopause, we find that the depths of KSMHs decrease as their temporal‐scale increases. We also find that the spatial‐scales of the KSMHs near the subsolar magnetosheath are smaller than those in the flanks. Furthermore, their global distribution shows a significant dawn‐dusk asymmetry (duskside dominating) in the magnetotail. Most KSMHs are locally generated in the magnetosheath, rather than advected with the solar wind.KSMHs are more likely to be generated downstream of the quasi‐parallel shock, indicating the importance of turbulence in their generation.The scale‐size of KSMHs is smaller near the subsolar magnetosheath than along the flanks, indicating they may be affected by the magnetosheath pressure environment.

109. The semiannual variation of transpolar arc incidence and its relationship to the Russell–McPherron effect

Abstract

Earth's aurora is a luminescent phenomenon generated by the interaction between magnetospheric precipitating particles and the upper atmosphere; it plays an important role in magnetosphere–ionosphere (M‐I) coupling. The transpolar arc (TPA) is a discrete auroral arc distributed in the noon‐midnight direction poleward of the auroral oval and connects the dayside to the nightside sectors of the auroral oval. Studying the seasonal variation of TPA events can help us better understand the long‐term variation of the interaction between the solar wind, the magnetosphere, and M‐I coupling. However, a statistical study of the seasonal variation of TPA incidence has not previously been carried out. In this paper, we have identified 532 TPA events from the IMAGE database (2000–2005) and the Polar database (1996–2002), and calculated the incidence of TPA events for different months. We find a semiannual variation in TPA incidence. Clear peaks in the incidence of TPAs occur in March and September; a less pronounced peak appears in November. We also examine seasonal variation in the northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) over the same time period. The intensity and occurrence rate of the northward IMF exhibit patterns similar to that of the TPA incidence. Having studied IMFBzbefore TPA onset, we find that strong and steady northward IMF conditions are favorable for TPA formation. We suggest that the semiannual variation observed in TPA incidence may be related to the Russell–McPherron (R‐M) effect due to the projection effect of the IMFByunder northward IMF conditions.
