Journal ArticleDOI
The THEMIS Array of Ground-based Observatories for the Study of Auroral Substorms
Stephen B. Mende,S. E. Harris,Harald U. Frey,Vassilis Angelopoulos,Christopher T. Russell,Eric Donovan,Brian Jackel,M. Greffen,Laura Peticolas +8 more
TL;DR: The NASA Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) project as mentioned in this paper is intended to investigate magnetospheric substorm phenomena by using five in-situ satellites and ground-based all-sky imagers and magnetometers.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the Tsyganenko-01 magnetic field model with enhanced solar wind pressure was used to map the magnetic-shear high-latitude magnetopause (MP) location to the vicinity of the IMAGE proton spot.
Journal ArticleDOI
The THEMIS all-sky imaging array—system design and initial results from the prototype imager
Eric Donovan,Stephen B. Mende,Brian Jackel,Harald U. Frey,M. Syrjasuo,I. Voronkov,T. S. Trondsen,Laura Peticolas,Vassilis Angelopoulos,S. Harris,M. Greffen,Martin Connors +11 more
TL;DR: The THEMIS project as mentioned in this paper is a NASA MIDEX mission scheduled for launch in 2006, which consists of five magnetospheric satellites in equatorial orbits, three of which will have apogees around 12 Re, while the fourth and fifth will have Apogee at ∼ 20 and ∼ 30 Re.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the origin of aurorae on Mars
David Brain,Jasper Halekas,Laura Peticolas,Robert P. Lin,Janet G. Luhmann,David L. Mitchell,Gregory T. Delory,Stephen W. Bougher,Mario H. Acuña,H. Rème +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) observed thousands of peaked electron energy spectrasimilar to terrestrial auroral electrons on the Martian night side, near strong crustal magnetic sources, and calculated that the most energetic distributions could produce atmospheric emission with intensity comparable to that recently reported from theMars Express (MEX) spacecraft.
Journal ArticleDOI
Driven Alfven waves and electron acceleration: A FAST case study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors simulate the propagation of an Alfven wave driven by an oscillating potential in the outer magnetosphere and show that more than 50% of the downgoing wave Poynting flux is dissipated through electron acceleration parallel to the geomagnetic field.
