3. correlated & anti-correlated (1) O+ source ≠ H+ source (B) H+/O+ in the major return route (2) O+ motion ≠ H+ motion H+ O+ Correlation part means that H+ and O+ has the same bounce-average drift motion. Then, how can we understand the anti-correlation part just 15 minutes later? O+ H+ O+ appears earlier than H+. Drift of O+ is not bounce-averaged motion seen from pitch angles,

4. (C) Roles of escaped O+ Earth ? Mars ? Venus ? Io & other Satellites? (1)Mass loading at the exterior cusp : Extra deceleration of SW (2) Enhanced Hall effect: Because of quicker O+/e- separation than H+/e- separation  Electrons start to divert from the plasma flow at a larger distance for storm time tha non- storm time (critical thickness of the current sheet changes)  Storm-time reconnection & current disruption is faster than non-storm-time reconnection & current disruption.

Yamauchi (Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna) and Viking-V3 / Freja-F3 / Cluster-CIS teams (1) We surveyed heavy ion injections at 1700 km (Freja) altitude *Mostly found in nightside subauroral region. *We show three of them the rare (few %) dayside events (2) We found O+/H+ difference in the sub-keV ring current plasma *Evidences of source difference between O+ and H+ * Drift average for H+ whereas non-drift average for O+ (3) Roles of escaped O+ : cusp mass-loading and tail reconnection

8. Examples of O+ escape Phobos-2: O+ escape from Mars [Lundin et al., 1990]. High escape rate : 0.1 ~ 1 kg/s (obs. by Mars Express and Phobos 2) Cluster: non-thermal O+ escape from the ionosphere [Nilsson et al., 2004].

10. (1a) Most injection events occur in the nightside Freja statistics shows clear nightside preference Not artifact of 63°inclination Some in dayside The total number of traversals with clear injection events in each bin is scaled by the size of the square. The numbers with # are the orbit number. in 1° x 1h bin. Freja data 1992.10 ~ 1994.10
