This manuscript gives an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the effects of energetic
particle precipitation (EPP) onto the whole atmosphere, from the lower thermosphere …

The plasma particle velocity distributions observed in the solar wind generally show
enhanced (non-Maxwellian) suprathermal tails, decreasing as a power law of the velocity …

We have developed an auroral precipitation model which separately categorizes the
discrete aurora and both the electron and ion diffuse aurora. The discrete aurora includes …

Energetic particle injections are critical for supplying particles and energy to the inner
magnetosphere. Recent case studies have demonstrated a good correlation between …

Empirical kappa distributions provide a straightforward replacement of the Maxwell
distribution for systems out of thermal equilibrium such as space plasmas. Kappa …

The only previously established seasonal auroral variation is that of intense monoenergetic
aurora, corresponding to quasi‐static acceleration by geomagnetic‐field‐aligned electric …

The propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic waves (IAWs) in a magnetoplasma having
superthermal inertialess electrons and inertial warm adiabatic ions is examined. In this …

Motivated by recent observations of intense electric fields and elevated energetic particle
fluxes within flow bursts beyond geosynchronous altitude (Runov et al., 2009, 2011), we …

Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies in solar and space plasma
environments. While energy spectra of accelerated electrons often exhibit a power law, it …

The recently developed concept of" entropic defect" is important for understanding the
foundations of thermodynamics in space plasma physics, and more generally for systems …
