- Statistical characteristics of particle injections throughout the equatorial magnetotail (2014, background): “This pileup is in agreement with the picture that individual DFBs correspond to wedgelets comprising the large-scale substorm current wedge [Liu et al., 2013].”
- Average thermodynamic and spectral properties of plasma in and around dipolarizing flux bundles (2015, methodology): “Recently, a term “dipolarizing flux bundle” (DFB) has been introduced to describe a localized region of an enhanced magnetic pressure separated from the ambient media by a thin current sheet, a dipolarization front [Liu et al., 2013, 2014].”
- Substorm Current Wedge Revisited (2015, background): “Given the ability of flow bursts to sustain field-aligned currents and possibly feed those currents to the ionosphere, they function as individual pieces of a substorm current wedge, and have been called “wedgelets” (Rostoker 1998; Liu et al. 2013; Nakamura et al. 2005).”
- Dipolarization fronts as a consequence of transient reconnection: In situ evidence (2013, background): “…the Earth’s magnetotail from XGSM= 30 RE to XGSM= 7 RE in geocentric solar magnetospheric (GSM) coordinates [Schmid et al., 2011; Fu et al., 2012b; Liu et al., 2013], and they play key roles in transporting energy fluxes [Volwerk et al., 2008; Nakamura et al., 2011; Hamrin et al., 2013],…”
- Magnetic flux transport by dipolarizing flux bundles (2013, background): “Considering a DFB’s typical Y width of ~3 RE [e.g., Sergeev et al., 1996; Liu et al., 2013b], the amount of flux carried by a DFB is ~1.5 MWb, which is transported within the typical ~40 s DFB duration.”
