摘要：
We have investigated the origin of ions in magnetotail flux ropes by using a large scale trajectory calculation in which we launched solar wind ions into the electric and magnetic fields from a global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the magnetosphere. We analyzed many ions entering the flux rope and found that three types of reconnection - on the dayside, in the magnetotail, and on the distant magnetotail flanks - as well as single particle drifts were important in forming this population.
