TL;DR: In this paper, the Van Allen Probe (Radiation Belt Storm Probes) spacecraft data was used to identify the generation of a fundamental mode standing poloidal wave through drift-resonance interactions in the inner magnetosphere.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of bounce resonance on the equatorially mirroring energetic electrons with a special interest in characterizing the effectiveness of bounce resonances and found that bounce resonance can reduce the equatorial pitch angle to values where resonant scattering by whistler mode waves becomes possible.

TL;DR: In this article, a substorm injection of MeV electrons into the inner magnetosphere was shown to increase the MeV electron phase space density by 1 order of magnitude in less than 3h in the outer radiation belt (L > 4.8).

TL;DR: In this article, the first observations of large amplitude waves in a well-defined electron diffusion region based on the criteria described by Scudder et al at the subsolar magnetopause using data from one Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) satellite were presented.

TL;DR: An analytic approach to the problem of collisionless magnetic reconnection formulated as a process of Alfvén eigenmodes' generation and dissipation and shows good agreement with the in situ measurement of the reconnection-associated Hall fields.
