Abstract

Radio emission produced in Earth's foreshock is due to the bow shock reflecting some electrons back upstream into the foreshock, where they produce Langmuir waves and radio emissions near the electron plasma frequency f p ${f}_{p}$ and near 2 f p $2{f}_{p}$ . Here we predict the source shapes and fluxes of Earth's foreshock radio emissions, with associated implications for other radio sources at multiples of f p ${f}_{p}$ . We use an extended model for Earth's foreshock radiation to calculate the electron distributions and the energy flows into Langmuir waves and radiation for specific emission processes. One extension is the addition of linear mode conversion of Langmuir waves into f p ${f}_{p}$ radiation at density gradients, found to produce 20 30 % ${\approx} 20-30\%$ of the total radio flux near f p ${f}_{p}$ . We produce the first 2D images of Earth's foreshock radio sources for f p ${f}_{p}$ and 2 f p $2{f}_{p}$ radiation observed remotely from the L1 point and other locations. These images confirm a prediction for the 2–3 kHz outer heliospheric radiation that the radio source should be strongly elongated along the shock perpendicular to the upstream magnetic field and plasma flow velocity.

地球前震辐射源的形状和方向预测
地球前震产生的无线电发射是由于弓形激波将一些电子反射回上游的前震,它们产生朗缪尔波和无线电发射,频率接近电子等离子体频率f p ${f}_{p}$和接近2f p $2{f}_{p}$。在这里,我们预测了地球前震射电发射的源形状和通量,以及对其他射电源的相关影响,其倍数为f p ${f}_{p}$。我们使用地球前震辐射的扩展模型来计算电子分布和能量流进入朗缪尔波和辐射的特定发射过程。一种扩展是将朗缪尔波的线性模式转换加入到密度梯度下的f p ${f}_{p}$辐射中,发现在f p ${f}_{p}$附近产生的总无线电通量≈20- 30% ${\约}20- 30% $。我们制作了地球前震射电源的第一个二维图像,用于远程观测到f p ${f}_{p}$和2 f p $2{f}_{p}$辐射从L1点和其他位置。这些图像证实了对2-3千赫外日球辐射的预测,即射电源应该沿着垂直于上游磁场和等离子体流速度的激波被强烈拉长。
