Intense cross-tail field-aligned currents in the plasma sheet at lunar distances
Sixue Xu, Andrei Runov, Anton Artemyev +2
Field-aligned currents in the Earth's magnetotail are traditionally associated with transient plasma flows and strong plasma pressure gradients in the near-Earth side. In this pape…
Fermi acceleration of electrons inside foreshock transient cores
Terry Z. Liu, San Lu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2
Foreshock transients upstream of Earth's bow shock have been recently observed to accelerate electrons to many times their thermal energy. How such acceleration occurs is unknown,…
Statistical study of particle acceleration in the core of foreshock transients
Terry Z. Liu, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Heli Hietala +1
Several types of foreshock transients upstream of Earth's bow shock possessing a tenuous, hot core have been observed and simulated. Because of the low dynamic pressure in their co…
Ion motion in a polarized current sheet
Ethan Tsai, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos
We consider the effects of a polarization electric field on transient ion motion in a thin current sheet. Using adiabatic invariants, we analytically describe a variety of ion traj…
