In near time coincidence with the arrival of helium enriched plasma driving the shock wave disturbance of November 12--13, 1978, strong bi-directional streaming of solar wind electrons >~80 eV was observed with Los Alamos instrumentation on ISEE 3. The streaming persisted for many hours simultaneously parallel and anti-parallel to the interplanetary magnetic field which was directed roughly perpendicular to the sun satellite line. The example of bi-directional streaming clearly cannot be explained by field line connection to either the earth's bow shock or the outward propagating interplanetary shock which passed ISEE 3 ~16 hours earlier. The event is best explained if the local interplanetary field was a part of either a magnetic bottle rooted at the sun or a disconnected loop propagating outward. |
