Observations of paired electrostatic shocks in the polar magnetosphere

TL;DR: In this article, a polar orbiting satellite was used to measure spatially confined regions of extremely large electric fields in the auroral zone at altitudes below 8000 km, which are identified as paired electrostatic shocks which are associated with electrostatic ion cyclotron wave turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Science Goals and Overview of the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP) Energetic Particle, Composition, and Thermal Plasma (ECT) Suite on NASA’s Van Allen Probes Mission

TL;DR: The Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP)-Energetic Particle, Composition, and Thermal Plasma (ECT) suite contains an innovative complement of particle instruments to ensure the highest quality measurements ever made in the inner magnetosphere and radiation belts as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Satellite measurements and theories of low altitude auroral particle acceleration

TL;DR: In this article, the S3-3 satellite results on DC electric fields, field-aligned currents, and waves are described, interpreted theoretically, and applied to the understanding of auroral particle acceleration at altitudes below 8000 km.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acceleration of relativistic electrons via drift‐resonant interaction with toroidal‐mode Pc‐5 ULF oscillations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the adiabatic response of electrons to toroidal-mode Pc-5 field line resonances using a simplified magnetic field model and found that electrons can be accelerated through a drift-resonant interaction with the waves, and presented expressions describing the resonance condition and half-width for resonant interaction.
