Multiple transpolar auroral arcs reveal insight about coupling processes in the Earth’s magnetotail
Zhang, Qing-He; Zhang, Yong-Liang; Wang, Chi; Lockwood, Michael; Yang, Hui-Gen; Tang, Bin-Bin; Xing, Zan-Yang; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lyons, Larry R.; Ma, Yu-Zhang; Zong, Qiu-Gang; Moen, Jøran Idar; Xia, Li-Dong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A distinct class of aurora, called transpolar auroral arc (TPA) (in some cases called “theta” aurora), appears in the extremely high-latitude ionosphere of the Earth when interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is northward. ... -
Quantification of Cold-Ion Beams in a Magnetic Reconnection Jet
Li, Yu-Xuan; Li, Wen-Ya; Tang, Bin-Bin; Norgren, C.; He, Jian-Sen; Wang, Chi; Zong, Qiu-Gang; Toledo-Redondo, S.; André, M.; Chappell, C.; Dargent, J.; Fuselier, S.A.; Glocer, A.; Graham, D.B.; Haaland, S.; Kistler, L.; Lavraud, B.; Moore, T.E.; Tenfjord, P.; Vines, S.K.; Burch, J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Cold (few eV) ions of ionospheric origin are widely observed in the lobe region of Earth’s magnetotail and can enter the ion jet region after magnetic reconnection is triggered in the magnetotail. Here, we investigate a ... -
Unusual shrinkage and reshaping of Earth’s magnetosphere under a strong northward interplanetary magnetic field
Wang, Xiang-Yu; Zhang, Qing-He; Wang, Chi; Zhang, Yong-Liang; Tang, Bin-Bin; Xing, Zan-Yang; Oksavik, Kjellmar; Lyons, Larry R.; Lockwood, Michael; Zong, Qiu-Gang; Li, Guo-Jun; Liu, Jing; Ma, Yu-Zhang; Wang, Yong (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The Earth’s magnetosphere is the region of space where plasma behavior is dominated by the geomagnetic field. It has a long tail typically extending hundreds of Earth radii (RE) with plentiful open magnetic fluxes threading ...
