O+ velocity distribution functions (VDFs) projected on the plane perpendicular to the local magnetic field observed by STATIC (“d0” products). Gray circles correspond to contours of 100 eV, 1 keV and 10 keV, respectively. The red dashed circle corresponds to an ideal ring distribution calculated by local proton velocity perpendicular to the local magnetic field.
