TLDR
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport.Abstract:
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport. The key science objectives and the contribution that EMFISIS makes to providing measurements as well as theory and modeling are described. The key components of the instruments suite, both electronics and sensors, including key functional parameters, calibration, and performance, demonstrate that EMFISIS provides the needed measurements for the science of the RBSP mission. The EMFISIS operational modes and data products, along with online availability and data tools provide the radiation belt science community with one the most complete sets of data ever collected.read more

TL;DR: In this article , the authors conducted a multi-event analysis of simultaneous observations of IPAs and their source regions on 22 April, 7 September, and 22 March 2018, using all-sky imagers at subauroral latitudes and the Van Allen Probes.

A missing dusk-side loss process in the terrestrial electron ring current
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors show that existing ring current models systematically overestimate electron flux observations of 10-50 keV on the nightside during storm onset, and that this systematic overestimation of flux can be explained through a missing loss process which operates in the pre-midnight sector.

TL;DR: The RBSP and the Arase satellites have different inclinations and sometimes they fly both near the equator and off the same magnetic field line, simultaneously as discussed by the authors, which is known as a conjunction.

Statistical Properties of Whistler‐Mode Hiss Waves in the Inner Radiation Belt
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors surveyed statistically the occurrence rate, intensity, and propagation properties of hiss waves in the inner radiation belt (1.1 < L ≤ 2) using the Van Allen Probes A and B observations from 01 January 2013 to 28 February 2018, and found that the frequency and amplitude of lower-band hiss are higher in the dayside high-L region (L > 1.3 and magnetic local time [MLT] = 6-20 hr) than the night-side (MLT ∼ 20-6 hr).

Regular Article: A Solution-Adaptive Upwind Scheme for Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a computational scheme for compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) based on the same elements that make up many modern compressible gas dynamics codes: high-resolution upwinding based on an approximate Riemann solver for MHD and limited reconstruction; an optimally smoothing multi-stage time-stepping scheme; and solution-adaptive refinement and coarsening.

Relativistic theory of wave‐particle resonant diffusion with application to electron acceleration in the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was proposed to account for the observed variations in the flux and pitch angle distribution of relativistic electrons during geomagnetic storms by combining pitch angle scattering by intense EMIC waves and energy diffusion during cyclotron resonant interaction with whistler mode chorus outside the plasmasphere.

Pitch-angle diffusion of radiation belt electrons within the plasmasphere.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the quiet-time electron slot, which divides the radiation belt electrons into an inner and an outer zone, was investigated. But the results were limited to the inner radiation zone.
