AbstractSince August 2001, IMAGE/HENA has had the capability to image energetic neutral atom (ENA) emissions from the ring current in both hydrogen and oxygen, separately. We have found that the 50–180keV oxygen emission is generally well correlated with substorm activity during major storms, while the 27–60keV hydrogen emission is poorly correlated with substorm activity (although well correlated with Dst index). The 60–120keV hydrogen exhibits some characteristics of both the lower energy hydrogen, and the higher energy oxygen. In this paper, we explore the spatial development of the emission for hydrogen at both energies, as well as for energetic oxygen. We will try to separate the effects of pitch angle scattering and precipitation from the effects of injection into the high altitude ring current, as the source of the oxygen enhancements that are observed.
