The HENA instrument on IMAGE has observed significant increases in the Oxygen energetic neutral atom (ENA) signature during
substorm events. The Hydrogen signature for the same events show relatively small change. We use a particle trajectory
simulation developed by Delcourt to simulate the response of magnetospheric Oxygen ions to dipolarization of the geomagnetic
field. Our results show strong injection in the pre-midnight sector during the expansion phase consistant with observed
events.
