Thermospheric Conditions Associated With the Loss of 40 Starlink Satellites by Yongliang Zhang, Larry J. Paxton, Robert Schaefer, William H. Swartz

“…There are a few reasons for the dawn‐dusk asymmetry in the relative density increase: (a) the pre‐storm background density or heat capacity is lower on the dawn‐side than that on the duskside, (b) stronger auroral heating was observed on the dawnside based on analysis of auroral images, (c) the thermosphere density enhancement partially recovered when the disturbance co‐rotated with the Earth from dawn to dusk side due to enhanced infrared cooling by NO. Note that the neutral density increase is expected to be much higher at high latitudes where the neutral disturbances are initiated.…”
