Energy transfer from MHD-scale slow-mode waves to kinetic-scale ion acoustic waves
Xiaofei Shi, Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos
Large-amplitude slow-mode waves are commonly observed near Earth's magnetopause. Recent observations show that these waves can occur simultaneously with kinetic-scale ion acoustic…
ARTEMIS observations of electrostatic shocks inside the lunar wake
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos +1
When the solar wind encounters the Moon, a plasma void forms downstream of it, known as the lunar wake. In regions where the magnetic field is quasi-parallel to the plasma-vacuum b…
Exploring the Magnetotail from Low Altitudes: Evolution of Energetic Electron Flux During the Substorm Growth Phase
Weiqin Sun, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton V. Artemyev +3
The magnetospheric substorm, which plays a crucial role in flux and energy transport across Earth's magnetosphere, features the formation of a thin, elongated current sheet in the…
Plasma refilling of the lunar wake: plasma-vacuum interactions, electrostatic shocks, and electromagnetic instabilities
Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Terry Z. Liu +3
A plasma void forms downstream of the Moon when the solar wind impacts the lunar surface. This void gradually refills as the solar wind passes by, forming the lunar wake. We invest…
Excitation of whistler-mode waves by an electron temperature anisotropy in a laboratory plasma
Donglai Ma, Xin An, Jia Han +6
Naturally-occurring whistler-mode waves in near-Earth space play a crucial role in accelerating electrons to relativistic energies and scattering them in pitch angle, driving their…
Scaling of Particle Heating in Shocks and Magnetic Reconnection
Mitsuo Oka, Tai D. Phan, Marit Øieroset +4
Particles are heated efficiently through energy conversion processes such as shocks and magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma environments. While empirical scaling laws for…
Streamer-like red line diffuse auroras driven by time domain structures and ECH waves associated with a plasma injection and braking ion flows
Yangyang Shen, Xu Zhang, Jun Liang +5
Auroral streamers are important meso-scale processes of dynamic magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, typically studied using imagers sensitive to energetic (>1 keV) electron precipit…
