Description

The paper is devoted to the study of precipitation regions of high-energy electrons injected by a point source moving in near-Earth space along an elliptical orbit. The precipitation regions are constructed on the basis of numerical integration of an ordinary differential equations describing the motion of electrons in a dipole magnetic field. The influence of some parameters of the source orbit on the structure of precipitation regions is considered. They are eccentricity, focal parameter, incline angle to the selected axis in the plane of the geographic equator and the energy of injected electrons. The difference between the obtained regions and the precipitation regions formed for the motion of a point source along circular near-Earth orbit is discussed. (paper)
