Kinetic structure and wave properties associated with sharp dipolarization front observed by Cluster (2012, background): “Lower hybrid waves, electrostatic electron cyclotron harmonic waves, and nonlinear electrostatic structures such as electrostatic solitary waves and double layers were detected around the DF (Zhou et al., 2009; Deng et al., 2010).”
Observations and simulations of non-local acceleration of electrons in magnetotail magnetic reconnection events (2011, background): “The non-Maxwellian distributions that ensue are unstable to the generation of waves, including large-amplitude electric field emissions in the lower hybrid frequency range, emissions in the whistler frequency range and emissions above the electron cyclotron frequenc”
A statistical and event study of magnetotail dipolarization fronts (2011, background): “Zhou et al. (2009) found that the thickness of the current layer was just below one ion inertial length, however, their event happened much closer to the Earth at X≥−10RE, where the conditions may be different because of the more dipolar like magnetic field structure.”
Occurrence rate of earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts (2012, background): “At the DF, various wave activities including the lower hybrid drift, electron cyclotron [Zhou et al., 2009], and whistler mode [e.g., Deng et al., 2010; Khotyaintsev et al., 2011; Huang et al., 2012] are frequently observed; the electric structure [Zhang et al., 2011; Fu et al., 2012] together with…”
Fermi and betatron acceleration of suprathermal electrons behind dipolarization fronts (2011, background): “…with the co‐existing wave activity (lower hybrid, whistlers, and electron cyclotron harmonic mode) and plasma dynamics [e.g., Runov et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2009; Apatenkov et al., 2007; Sergeev et al., 2009;Nakamura et al., 2009; Asano et al., 2010; Khotyaintsev et al., 2011; Ge et al.,…”
Particle acceleration in dipolarization events (2013, methodology): “[5] As the structure of dipolarization fronts clearly involves kinetic scales and waves [Runov et al., 2009; Sergeev et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2009; Deng et al., 2010; Runov et al., 2012], the obvious method of investigationmight seem self-consistent particle simulations.”
Electric structure of dipolarization front at sub‐proton scale (2012, methodology): “Comparing to the previous studies [e.g., Zhou et al., 2009; Zhang et al., 2011], our methods do not depend on the location of spacecraft relative to the DF because they are performed in the local lmn coordinates.”
