title: Assessing the role of oxygen on ring current formation and evolution through numerical experiments.
abstract: Low O+/H+ratio produced stronger ring currentInclusion of physics-based ionospheric outflow leads to a reduction in the CPCPOxygen presence is linked to a nightside reconnection point closer to the Earth.
