• Dual-Lobe Reconnection and Horse-Collar Auroras 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Carter, Jennifer Alyson; Bower, G.E.; Imber, S.M.; Paxton, Larry J.; Anderson, Brian J.; Hairston, Marc; Hubert, Benoit (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We propose a mechanism for the formation of the horse-collar auroral configuration during periods of strongly northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF), invoking the action of dual-lobe reconnection (DLR). Auroral ...
    • Magnetospheric Flux Throughput in the Dungey Cycle: Identification of Convection State During 2010 

      Milan, Stephen Eric; Carter, Jennifer Alyson; Sangha, Harneet; Bower, G.E.; Anderson, Brian J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      We quantify the contributions of different convection states to the magnetic flux throughput of the magnetosphere during 2010. To do this we provide a continuous classification of convection state for the duration of 2010 ...
