• Acceleration of Oxygen Ions in Dipolarization Events: 1. CPS Distributions 

      Birn, J.; Hesse, Michael; Bingham, S.T.; Turner, D.L.; Nakamura, Rumi (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      This paper represents the second part of an investigation of the acceleration of energetic oxygen ions from encounters with a dipolarization front (DF), based on test particle tracing in the fields of an MHD simulation. ...
    • Substorm Current Wedge: Energy Conversion and Current Diversion 

      Birn, J.; Borovsky, Joseph E.; Hesse, Michael; Kepko, L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Using a magnetohydrodynamic simulation of magnetotail reconnection, flow bursts, and dipolarization, we further investigate the current diversion and energy flow and conversion associated with the substorm current wedge ...
