IMAGE sees protons flowing into the magnetospheric 'cusp' after magnetic field lines from the magnetotail begin to reconnect. This also means that during these times, protons may make a large contribution to the way that energy is deposited into the cusp region. (2001: H.U. Frey, S.B. Mende, T.J. Immel, S.A. Fuselier, E.S. Clafin, J.-C. Gerard, and B. Huber)
