Abstract

The TUS detector is a highly sensitive orbital telescope. Due to the polar orbit of the spacecraft, the detector made observations of the UV luminosity of the atmosphere above the aurora oval. Events with intensity variations characteristic of pulsating auroras have been registered. The events are located along the equatorial boundary of the auroral oval and occur during long-term geomagnetic disturbances. Comparison with data from charged particle detectors shows the presence of an increased flux of precipitating high-energy electrons (with energies above 100 keV) simultaneously with UV pulsations.
