Nonlinear Landau resonant interaction between kinetic Alfvén waves and thermal electrons: Excitation of time domain structures
Xin An, Jacob Bortnik, Xiaojia Zhang
Phase space holes, double layers and other solitary electric field structures, referred to as time domain structures (TDSs), often occur around dipolarization fronts in the Earth's…

Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1
Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…

Formation of foreshock transients and associated secondary shocks
Xin An, Terry Z. Liu, Jacob Bortnik +2
Upstream of shocks, the foreshock is filled with hot ions. When these ions are concentrated and thermalized around a discontinuity, a diamagnetic cavity bounded by compressional bo…
