Electron power-law spectra in solar and space plasmas

M Oka, J Birn, M Battaglia, CC Chaston, SM Hatch… - Space Science …, 2018‏ - Springer
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 …

THEMIS observations of an earthward‐propagating dipolarization front

A Runov, V Angelopoulos, MI Sitnov… - Geophysical …, 2009‏ - Wiley Online Library
We report THEMIS observations of a dipolarization front, a sharp, large‐amplitude increase
in the Z‐component of the magnetic field. The front was detected in the central plasma sheet …

On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets

J Liu, V Angelopoulos, A Runov… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2013‏ - Wiley Online Library
Using Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms observations
from four tail seasons, we study the three‐dimensional structure of the dipolarization front …

Current disruption in the Earth's magnetosphere: Observations and models

ATY Lui - Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 1996‏ - Wiley Online Library
Observations and models of current disruption in the Earth's magnetosphere are briefly
reviewed. At the approach of current disruption onset, the cross‐tail current sheet shows a …

Braking of high‐speed flows in the near‐Earth tail

K Shiokawa, W Baumjohann… - Geophysical research …, 1997‏ - Wiley Online Library
We have studied possible braking mechanisms of high‐speed ion flows in the near‐Earth
central plasma sheet for radial distances between 9 and 19 Earth Radii (RE) on the basis of …

Dipolarization fronts as a signature of transient reconnection in the magnetotail

MI Sitnov, M Swisdak, AV Divin - Journal of Geophysical …, 2009‏ - Wiley Online Library
Dipolarization fronts (DFs), characterized by a strong and steep increase of the tail magnetic
field component Bz normal to the neutral plane and preceded by a much less negative dip of …

Bursty bulk flows and dipolarization in MHD simulations of magnetotail reconnection

J Birn, R Nakamura, EV Panov… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2011‏ - Wiley Online Library
Using three‐dimensional MHD simulations of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail, we
investigate the fate of earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs). The flow bursts are identified as …

High‐speed ion flow, substorm current wedge, and multiple Pi 2 pulsations

K Shiokawa, W Baumjohann… - Journal of …, 1998‏ - Wiley Online Library
We have studied the onset timing of earthward high‐speed ion flow observed by the
AMPTE/IRM satellite at 12.3 Earth radii (RE) and 0100 MLT in the central plasma sheet …
