Particle acceleration in the magnetotail and aurora

J Birn, AV Artemyev, DN Baker, M Echim… - Space science …, 2012 - Springer
This paper deals with acceleration processes in the magnetotail and the processes that
enhance particle precipitation from the tail into the ionosphere through electric fields in the …

Alfvén waves and their roles in the dynamics of the Earth's magnetotail: a review

A Keiling - Space Science Reviews, 2009 - Springer
The Earth's magnetotail is an extremely complex system which—energized by the solar wind—
displays many phenomena, and Alfvén waves are essential to its dynamics. While Alfvén …

Auroral ion acceleration in dispersive Alfvén waves

CC Chaston, JW Bonnell, CW Carlson… - Journal of …, 2004 - Wiley Online Library
Observations from the FAST satellite are used to create a model for dispersive Alfvén waves
above the auroral oval. Using this model, it is shown how these waves may accelerate …

Review of Pi2 models

A Keiling, K Takahashi - Space Science Reviews, 2011 - Springer
More than half a century after the discovery of Pi2 pulsations, Pi2 research is still vigorous
and evolving. Especially in the last decade, new results have provided supporting evidence …

Energy deposition by Alfvén waves into the dayside auroral oval: Cluster and FAST observations

CC Chaston, LM Peticolas, CW Carlson… - Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We report in situ observations from the Cluster and FAST spacecraft showing the deposition
of energy into the auroral ionosphere from broadband ULF waves in the cusp and low …

The turbulent Alfvénic aurora

CC Chaston, C Salem, JW Bonnell, CW Carlson… - Physical Review Letters, 2008 - APS
It is demonstrated from observations that the Alfvénic aurora may be powered by a turbulent
cascade transverse to the geomagnetic field from large MHD scales to small Alfvén wave …

On the role of whistler‐mode waves in electron interaction with dipolarizing flux bundles

AV Artemyev, AI Neishtadt… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
The magnetotail is the main source of energetic electrons for Earth's inner magnetosphere.
Electrons are adiabatically heated during flow bursts (rapid earthward motion of the plasma) …

Ionospheric erosion by Alfvén waves

CC Chaston, V Génot, JW Bonnell… - Journal of …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Using observations from the FAST small explorer spacecraft, we present fields and plasma
observations above the dayside auroral oval showing the erosion of ionospheric plasmas …

Broadband low‐frequency electromagnetic waves in the inner magnetosphere

CC Chaston, JW Bonnell, CA Kletzing… - Journal of …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
A prominent yet largely unrecognized feature of the inner magnetosphere associated with
particle injections, and more generally geomagnetic storms, is the occurrence of broadband …

Electron trapping and acceleration by kinetic Alfven waves in the inner magnetosphere

AV Artemyev, R Rankin… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper we study the interaction of kinetic Alfven waves generated near the equatorial
plane of the magnetosphere with electrons having initial energies up to∼ 100 eV. Wave …
