On the role of Alfvén waves as precursors of quasi-static acceleration processes in the Earth auroral zone
Fabrice Mottez
In the Earth auroral zone, the electron acceleration by Alfvén waves is sometimes a precursor of the non-propagating acceleration structures. In order to investigate how Alfvén wav…

The role Alfvén waves in the generation of Earth polar auroras
Fabrice Mottez
The acceleration of electrons at 1-10 keV energies is the cause of the polar aurora displays, and an important factor of magnetic energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth.…
