Oxygen ion energization observed at high altitudes
We present a case study of significant heating (up to 8 keV) perpendicular to the geomagnetic field of outflowing oxygen ions at high altitude (12 <I>R</I><sub>E</sub>) above the polar cap. The shape of the distribution functions indicates that most of the heating occurs l...
