Abstract

Observations from satellites have revealed the existence of continuum radiation from just beyond the plasmapause. I propose here that this is generated by Cerenkov radiation coupling to the O mode of radiation, which can propagate in low density plasmas. The observations are interpreted on the basis of this theory.
