The Lyman alpha emission from Comet Bennett (1970II) was measured near perihelion (March 1970) by the University of Colorado ultraviolet photometer experiment on OGO-5 The spectrometer field of view of about 3° crossed the cometary hydrogen coma four times. The hydrogen coma was observed to extend more than 30 x 106 km in the antisolar direction.A model for the hydrogen density was developed which took the actual cometary motion and the gradients of the forces of gravitation and radiation pressure into account Exact trajectories of atoms in the orbital plane representing the column densities perpendicular to the plane were calculated. The variation of the hydrogen lifetime along the trajectory as well as the solar Lα profile were considered.

<p>Atomic hydrogen plays a key role for the plasmasphere, exosphere, and the nighttime ionosphere. It directly impacts the rate of plasmasphere refilling after strong magnetic storms as atomic hydrogen is the primary source of hydrogen ions. It is the source of the geocorona, which significantly affects ring current decay during the recovery phase of magnetic storms.</p><p>Our previous studies with the Kharkiv incoherent scatter radar (49.6 N, 36.3 E), Arase and DMSP satellite missions, and FLIP physical model showed that during magnetically quiet periods of 2016–2018 the hydrogen density was generally a factor of 2 higher than from the NRLMSIS00-E model (Kotov et al., 2018).</p><p>Even larger values of thermospheric hydrogen density were detected prior to the severe storm of September 8, 2017. With Kharkiv IS radar, AWDANet whistler receivers, Arase satellite, and TEC data we found that during the nights of September 5 to 6 and September 6 to 7, the thermospheric hydrogen density had to be at least a factor of 4 higher than the values from NRLMSIS00-E model i.e. ~100% higher than expected from our previous studies. We discuss the possible mechanisms that could lead to the increased hydrogen density.</p><p>Such high hydrogen densities may be the reason for very quick recovery of inner plasmasphere after the severe depletion by the storm of September 8, 2017 (Obana et al., 2019).</p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p>1.
