• 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. ...
    • AME: A Cross-Scale Constellation of CubeSats to Explore Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar–Terrestrial Relation 

      Dai, Lei; Wang, Chi; Cai, Zhiming; Gonzalez, Walter D.; Hesse, Michael; Escoubet, Philippe; Phan, Tai D.; Vasyliunas, Vytenis; Lu, Quanming; Li, Lei; Kong, Linggao; Dunlop, Malcolm W.; Nakamura, Rumi; He, Jianshen; Fu, Huishan; Zhou, M.; Huang, Shiyong; Wang, Rongsheng; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Graham, D. 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 ...
    • Lower-Hybrid Drift Waves Driving Electron Nongyrotropic Heating and Vortical Flows in a Magnetic Reconnection Layer 

      Chen, Li-Jen; Wang, Shan; Le Contel, Olivier; Rager, A.; Hesse, Michael; Drake, J. F.; Dorelli, J.; Ng, J.; Bessho, Naoki; Graham, D. B.; Wilson, Lynn B.; Moore, T. E.; Giles, B. L.; Paterson, W.; Lavraud, B.; Genestreti, K.; Nakamura, Rumi; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Ergun, R.E.; Torbert, Roy B.; Burch, J. L.; Pollock, C.; Russell, Christopher T.; Lindqvist, Per-Arne; Avanov, Levon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We report measurements of lower-hybrid drift waves driving electron heating and vortical flows in an electron-scale reconnection layer under a guide field. Electrons accelerated by the electrostatic potential of the waves ...
