B.; Retinò, Alessandro; Zelenyi, Lev; Grigorenko, Elena E.; Runov, Andrei; Angelopoulos, Vassilis; Kepko, Larry; Hwang, Kyoung-Joo; Zhang, Yongcun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      A major subset of solar–terrestrial relations, responsible, in particular, for the driver of space weather phenomena, is the interaction between the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. As one of the most important ...
    • Electron Heating by Debye-Scale Turbulence in Guide-Field Reconnection 

      Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Graham, Daniel B.; Steinvall, Konrad; Alm, Love; Vaivads, Andris; Johlander, Andreas; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Li, Wenya; Divin, Andrey; Fu, Huishan; Hwang, Kyoung-Joo; Burch, James L; Ahmadi, Narges; Le Contel, Olivier; Gershman, Daniel J; Russell, Christopher T.; Torbert, R. B. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We report electrostatic Debye-scale turbulence developing within the diffusion region of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection with a moderate guide field using observations by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. We show ...
    • Particle Energization in Space Plasmas: Towards a Multi-Point, Multi-Scale Plasma Observatory

      This White Paper outlines the importance of addressing the fundamental science theme “How are charged particles energized in space plasmas” through a future ESA mission. The White Paper presents five compelling science ...
    • Solar Wind—Magnetosphere Coupling During Radial Interplanetary Magnetic Field Conditions: Simultaneous Multi-Point Observations 

      Toledo-Redondo, Sergio; Hwang, Kyoung-Joo; Escoubet, C. P.; Lavraud, Benoit; Fornieles, J.; Aunai, N.; Fear, R.C.; Dargent, J.; Fu, Huishan; Fuselier, Stephen A.; Genestreti, K.J.; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Li, Wenya; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Phan, Tai D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      In-situ spacecraft missions are powerful assets to study processes that occur in space plasmas. One of their main limitations, however, is extrapolating such local measurements to the global scales of the system. To overcome ...
