On the relationship between energy input to the ionosphere and the ion outflow flux under different solar zenith angles

Abstract The ionosphere is one of the important sources for magnetospheric plasma, particularly for heavy ions with low charge states. We investigate the effect of solar illumination on the number flux of ion outflow using data obtained by the Fast Auroral SnapshoT (FAST) satellite at 3000–4150 km a...
