| Abstract | We observed Electrostatic Solitary Waves (ESW) by GEOTAIL spacecraft in the foreshock which is the region upstream from the bow shock. Since electric field intensities of the ESW observed in the electron and ion foreshock are widely different, it is expected that generation mechanisms of the ESW are different. In the foreshock region, we can observe electron beams in the electron foreshock and ion beams in the ion foreshock. Therefore we can expect that the nonlinear wave structures such as solitary waves excited by the electron beams or ion beams in the foreshock region. In the present paper, we show wave features of ESW type waves in both electron and ion foreshock regions using waveform and statistical analyses based on the GEOTAIL waveform data. |
