摘要

Energetic processes often produce transversely-heated angular distributions of the magnetized core (lowest energy) plasma. This characteristic is found in solar wind ion pickup, resulting from cometary or interstellar gas ionization, in Earths' ionosphere, and with hot ions formed around the Space Transportation System during gas releases. We investigate the thermalization of O+ ion pickup using the 2.5D hybrid simulation method (with fluid electrons and kinetic ions) of the ion pickup (ring) distributions, formed in the auroral ionosphere, with a range of ring velocities and thermal to magnetic pressure ratios. We find that in the unstable collisonless regime the anisotropy of the non-thermal distribution produces the ion-cyclotron instability, and the nonlinear relaxation is accompanied by wave-particle scattering that results in an emitted power of EMIC waves. We conclude that ionospheric pickup thermalization is slow due to the small ring speed compared to the thermal and Alfven speeds, while in the solar wind and other space plasmas regions with larger ion-ring velocity the collisionless relaxation and thermalization is rapid in terms of O+ ion gyro-period.
