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 …

The lower-thermosphere–ionosphere (LTI) system consists of the upper atmosphere and the
lower part of the ionosphere and as such comprises a complex system coupled to both the …

We investigate spatial and temporal scales at which wave‐particle interaction of Alfvén
waves occurs in Jupiter's magnetosphere. We consider electrons, protons, and oxygen ions …

We present Cassini observations of a plasma vortex in Saturn's dayside outer
magnetosphere. The vortex encounter took place on 13 December 2004 as Cassini was …

Recent observations have indicated that in addition to the classical “inverted‐V” type
electron acceleration, auroral electrons often have a field‐aligned distribution that is broad …

Quiet, discrete auroral arcs are an important and fundamental consequence of solar wind-
magnetosphere interaction. We summarize the current standing of observations of such …

Recent results of the first ever orbit through Jupiter's auroral region by NASA's Juno
spacecraft did not show evidence of coherent acceleration in the auroral or polar region …

Ion conics accompanied by electron beams are observed regularly in Saturn's
magnetosphere. The beams and conics are seen throughout the outer magnetosphere, on …

The appearance of generalized-Lorentzian distribution functions, a physical generalization
of the so-called “κ-distributions,” in collisionless space plasmas is a frequent phenomenon …

Investigating the process of electron acceleration in auroral regions, we present a study of
the temporal evolution of the interaction of Alfvén waves (AW) with a plasma …
