Cluster observations of electron holes in association with magnetotail reconnection and comparison to simulations (2005, background): “D) particle simulations of reconnection [Drake et al., 2003] to Polar observations at the magnetopause [Cattell et al., 2002a] have provided evidence that a nonlinear wave mode, electron holes, may play an important role in reconnection by scattering and energizing electrons.”
Formation and dynamics of coherent structures involving phase-space vortices in plasmas (2006, background): “In the following, we discuss the properties of electron holes in the frequency range of electron whistler waves, i.e. ci >|d/dt|> ce , where ce = eB 0 /m e is the electron gyrofrequency, in order to provide a theoretical explanation for the POLAR events discussed in Refs.”
Time domain structures: What and where they are, what they do, and how they are made (2015, background): “…the plasma sheet boundary layer [Lakhina et al., 2010], at shocks [Bale et al., 1998; Cattell et al., 2003], at magnetic field reconnection sites [Cattell et al., 2002; Mozer and Pritchett, 2009a, 2009b; Khotyaintsev et al., 2010; Li et al., 2014], in the solar wind [Bale et al., 1996; Malaspina…”
