Abstract
AbstractObservations of the plasma environment outside of the Earth's magnetosphere by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission Hot Plasma Composition Analyzers (MMS‐HPCAs) allow density measurements of geocoronal hydrogen pickup ions (PUIs). A study of this environment from December 4, 2019 to December 6, 2019, part of a single orbital period of the MMS spacecraft, revealed an inverse square dependence on PUI density. This dependence corresponds well with an inverse‐cube dependence on the neutral hydrogen density within the geocorona.
