Diffuse, monoenergetic, and broadband aurora: The global precipitation budget (2009, background): “Broadband, or wave aurora, had been primarily studied in a few individual cases, until a recent series of papers by Chaston et al. [2003, 2004, 2007] helped elucidate several basic facts.”
THEMIS ESA First Science Results and Performance Issues (2008, background): “…acceleration (Moebius et al. 1998; Lund et al. 1998, 2001), the discovery of the role of Alfvén waves in ion acceleration (Stasiewicz et al. 2000; Chaston et al. 2004), the recognition of the impact of conic ions outflows on magnetic storms and substorms (McFadden et al. 2001; Tung et al. 2001),…”
How important are dispersive Alfvén waves for auroral particle acceleration? (2007, methodology): “We have however developed and tested these criteria by application to numerous individual FAST orbits and have applied it to simulations [Chaston et al., 2004] for both travelling DAWs and DAWs bouncing or resonating within the ionospheric Alfvén resonator.”
