Dipolarization fronts as a consequence of transient reconnection: In situ evidence (2013, background): “Jet braking [Birn et al., 2011], transient reconnection [Sitnov et al.”
Recent advances in understanding substorm dynamics (2012, methodology): “The performance of this model has been independently tested against MHD simulations [Birn et al., 2011].”
Particle acceleration in dipolarization events (2013, methodology): “…we further investigate properties of particle acceleration associated with dipolarization events, using a more recent MHD simulation of magnetotail reconnection, which showed consistency with observed dipolarization events in many details [Birn et al., 2011], as basis for test particle studies.”
Particle Acceleration in the Magnetotail and Aurora (2012, methodology): “15 for an electron orbit with a final energy of 80 keV and a final pitch angle of 15° in the equatorial plane, again integrated in the fields of Birn et al. (2011).”
Fermi and betatron acceleration of suprathermal electrons behind dipolarization fronts (2011, background): “... leading edge of the re‐configurated magnetic field after reconnection in the magnetotail, has been extensively studied recently together 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., ”
