• Electron Acceleration and Thermalization at Magnetotail Separatrices 

      Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Hesse, Michael; Graham, Daniel B.; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Tenfjord, Paul; Vaivads, Andris; Steinvall, Konrad; Xu, Yin; Gershman, Daniel J; Lindqvist, Per-Arne; Plaschke, Ferdinand; Burch, James L (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In this study we use the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission to investigate the electron acceleration and thermalization occurring along the magnetic reconnection separatrices in the magnetotail. We find that initially cold ...
    • Exploring solar-terrestrial interactions via multiple imaging observers 

      Branduardi-Raymont, Graziella; Berthomier, M; Bogdanova, Y. V.; Carter, Jennifer; Collier, M; Dimmock, A; Dunlop, Malcolm; Fear, Robert C.; Forsyth, Colin; Hubert, Benoit; Kronberg, Elena A.; Laundal, Karl Magnus; Lester, Mark; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Østgaard, Nikolai; Palmroth, Minna; Plaschke, Ferdinand; Porter, F.S.; Rae, I. Jonathan; Read, Andy; Samsonov, A. A.; Sembay, Steven; Shprits, Yuri; Sibeck, David G.; Walsh, Brian; Yamauchi, M (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      How does solar wind energy flow through the Earth’s magnetosphere, how is it converted and distributed? is the question we want to address. We need to understand how geomagnetic storms and substorms start and grow, not ...
    • Millisecond observations of nonlinear wave–electron interaction in electron phase space holes 

      Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Graham, Daniel B.; Argall, Matthew; Steinvall, Konrad; Hesse, Michael; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Vaivads, Andris; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Gershman, Daniel J; Lindqvist, Per-Arne; Burch, James L; Plaschke, Ferdinand (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Electron phase space holes (EHs) associated with electron trapping are commonly observed as bipolar electric field signatures in both space and laboratory plasma. Until recently, it has not been possible to resolve EHs in ...
    • Particle Energization in Space Plasmas: Towards a Multi-Point, Multi-Scale Plasma Observatory
