Abstract

Ion temperature analysis of the first energetic neutral atom images of the quiet-time, extended magnetosphere provides evidence of multiple regions of ion heating. This study confirms the existence of a dawn-dusk asymmetry in ion temperature predicted for quiescent magnetospheric conditions by Spence and Kivelson (1993) and demonstrates that it is an inherent magnetospheric feature.
