Discovery of the Earth's Van Allen radiation belts by instruments flown on Explorer 1 in 1958
was the first major discovery of the Space Age. The observation of distinct inner and outer …

Abstract The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS)
investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) …

The Van Allen radiation belts contain ultrarelativistic electrons trapped in Earth's magnetic
field. Since their discovery in 1958, a fundamental unanswered question has been how …

Earth's diffuse aurora occurs over a broad latitude range and is primarily caused by the
precipitation of low-energy (0.1–30-keV) electrons originating in the central plasma sheet …

Outer zone radiation belt electrons can undergo gyroresonant interaction with various
magnetospheric wave modes including whistler‐mode chorus outside the plasmasphere …

Abstract The Van Allen radiation belts are two regions encircling the Earth in which
energetic charged particles are trapped inside the Earth's magnetic field. Their properties …

Electron acceleration inside the Earth's magnetosphere is required to explain increases in
the∼ MeV radiation belt electron flux during magnetically disturbed periods. Recent studies …

This paper focuses on the modeling of local acceleration and loss processes in the outer
radiation belt. We begin by reviewing the statistical properties of waves that violate the first …

We present a new computer code (PADIE) that calculates fully relativistic quasi‐linear pitch
angle and energy diffusion coefficients for resonant wave‐particle interactions in a …

In this paper we review recent spacecraft observations of oblique whistler-mode waves in
the Earth's inner magnetosphere as well as the various consequences of the presence of …
