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…
Omnidirectional Energetic Electron Fluxes from 150 km to 20,000 km: an ELFIN-Based Model
Emile Saint-Girons, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Didier Mourenas +2
The strong variations of energetic electron fluxes in the Earth's inner magnetosphere are notoriously hard to forecast. Developing accurate empirical models of electron fluxes from…
Variation of Whistler-Mode Wave Characteristics Along Magnetic Field Lines: Comparison of Near-Equatorial THEMIS and Middle-Latitude ERG Observations
Sophie Kadan, Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton Artemyev +8
The latitudinal distribution of whistler-mode wave intensity plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency and energy of electrons scattered by these waves in the outer radiat…
Statistical Characteristics of the Proton Isotropy Boundary
Colin Wilkins, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Anton Artemyev +4
Using particle data from the ELFIN satellites, we present a statistical study of 284 proton isotropy boundary events on the nightside magnetosphere, characterizing their occurrence…
Relativistic and Ultra-Relativistic Electron Bursts in Earth's Magnetotail Observed by Low-Altitude Satellites
Xiao-Jia Zhang, Anton V. Artemyev, Xinlin Li +7
Earth's magnetotail, a night-side region characterized by stretched magnetic field lines and strong plasma currents, is the primary site for the release of magnetic field energy an…
Beam-driven Electron Cyclotron Harmonic and Electron Acoustic Waves as Seen in Particle-In-Cell Simulations
Xu Zhang, Xin An, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Recent study has demonstrated that electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves can be excited by a low energy electron beam. Such waves propagate at moderately oblique wave normal angl…
