Energy spectra from the magneto tail, at XMSO positions between −2.8 and −0.6 RM, summed over a region one bin (0.2RM) wide in the X direction, and summed over radial distances up to 1RM. The x axis shows energy [eV] and the y. axis shows differential flux [m−2 s−1 sr−1 s−1 ]. The thick black line shows the energy spectrogram obtained in the most tailward part, the thick grey line the spectrogram from closest to the planet.
