Chorus Wave Driven Electron Dynamics in the Van Allen Belts: From Coherence to Diffusion
Xin Tao, Zeyu An, Fulvio Zonca +2
The Van Allen radiation belts contain relativistic electrons trapped by Earth's magnetic field, posing serious risks to spacecraft. Chorus waves are known to accelerate these elect…
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…
Night-Side Relativistic Electron Precipitation Bursts in the Outer Radiation Belt: Insights from ELFIN and THEMIS
Xi Lu, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton V. Artemyev +2
Electromagnetic whistler-mode waves play a crucial role in the acceleration and precipitation of radiation belt electrons. Statistical surveys of wave characteristics suggest that…
Reimagining Heliophysics: A bold new vision for the next decade and beyond
Ian J. Cohen, Dan Baker, Jacob Bortnik +25
The field of Heliophysics has a branding problem. We need an answer to the question: ``What is Heliophysics\?'', the answer to which should clearly and succinctly defines our scien…
Nonresonant scattering of energetic electrons by electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves: spacecraft observations and theoretical framework
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +4
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves lead to rapid scattering of relativistic electrons in Earth's radiation belts, due to their large amplitudes relative to other waves that…
Relativistic electron precipitation by EMIC waves: importance of nonlinear resonant effects
Veronika S. Grach, Anton V. Artemyev, Andrei G. Demekhov +7
Relativistic electron losses in Earth's radiation belts are usually attributed to electron resonant scattering by electromagnetic waves. One of the most important wave mode for suc…
Machine-learning based discovery of missing physical processes in radiation belt modeling
Enrico Camporeale, George J. Wilkie, Alexander Drozdov +1
Real-time prediction of the dynamics of energetic electrons in Earth's radiation belts incorporating incomplete observation data is important to protect valuable artificial satelli…
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…
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…
Unified view of nonlinear wave structures associated with whistler-mode chorus
Xin An, Jinxing Li, Jacob Bortnik +3
A range of nonlinear wave structures, including Langmuir waves, unipolar electric fields and bipolar electric fields, are often observed in association with whistler-mode chorus wa…
