Modes and manifestations of the explosive activity in the Earth's magnetotail, as well as its
onset mechanisms and key pre-onset conditions are reviewed. Two mechanisms for the …

In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts
(DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster …

This paper addresses the question of the contribution of azimuthally localized flow channels
and magnetic field dipolarizations embedded in them in the global dipolarization of the inner …

Magnetic reconnection underlies the physical mechanism of explosive phenomena in the
solar atmosphere and planetary magnetospheres, where plasma is usually collisionless. In …

Utilizing observations from the Electron Losses and Fields Investigation satellites, we
present a statistical study of∼ 2,000 events in 2019–2020 characterizing the occurrence in …

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 …

Night‐side chorus waves are often observed during plasma sheet injections, typically
confined around the equator and thus potentially responsible for precipitation of≲ 100 keV …

Interactions between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere manifest many
important space weather phenomena. In this paper, magnetosphere‐ionosphere drivers of …

Within dipolarization fronts (DFs) in the Earth's magnetotail, significant magnetic energy is
converted to plasma energy, and a significant portion of the electrons and ions therein are …

Much of plasma heating and transport from the magnetotail into the inner magnetosphere
occurs in the form of mesoscale discrete injections associated with sharp dipolarizations of …
