• The Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Investigation (2004, background): “…electrons that are electrostatically trapped by the magnetic mirror force of the planetary magnetic field and the parallel electric field responsible for the auroral electron acceleration, or by a shell distribution (Ergun et al., 2000) formed by the acceleration due to the parallel electric field.”
• Periodic Bursts of Coherent Radio Emission from an Ultracool Dwarf (2007, background): “The electron cyclotron maser instability is the mechanism deemed responsible for the coherent radio emission detected from the magnetized planets in our Solar System (Zarka 1998; Ergun et al. 2000), and has also been proposed as a source of certain classes of solar and stellar bursts.”
• Coherent emission mechanisms in astrophysical plasmas (2017, methodology): “AKR correlates with “inverted-V” electron precipitation events, and it is assumed that the radiation is generated by these electrons.”
• The electron–cyclotron maser for astrophysical application (2006, background): “The proposals of this kind have been around since the earliest application of the electron–cyclotron maser mechanism (Louarn et al. 1986) and have been renewed meanwhile in view of the modern theories (Ergun et al. 2000; Bingham and Cairns 2000; Bingham et al. 2001).”
• Confirmation of the Electron Cyclotron Maser Instability as the Dominant Source of Radio Emission from Very Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs (2008, background): “…the same mechanism known to be responsible for the radio emission at kHz and MHz frequencies from the magnetized planets in our solar system (Ergun et al. 2000; Zarka 1998) and also thought to be a source of certain classes of solar and stellar bursts (Melrose & Dulk 1982; Bingham et al.…”
