Energetic magnetosheath ions connected to the Earth's bow shock: Possible source of cusp energetic ions. Journal of Geophysical Research 105: doi: 10.1029/1999JA900468. issn: 0148-0227.

Plasma and magnetic field data detected by NASA GGS/Polar and Wind during the May 4, 1998, storm event are analyzed to demonstrate for the first time a causal relation between the magnetosheath energetic ions and bow shock magnetic geometry. Intense magnetosheath energetic ions observed upstream from the cusp are from the quasi-parallel bow shock and show properties indicating that they are a possible source of cusp energetic ions. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
