• Recent advances in understanding substorm dynamics (2012, background): “Dipolarization Front [24] Dipolarization fronts are localized thin current sheets of intense, approximately dawn-to-dusk-directed currents (up to several tens nA/m2) that are often preceded by a short dip in the Bz-component [Runov et al., 2009, 2011; Sergeev et al., 2009; Schmid et al., 2011].”
• Fermi and betatron acceleration of suprathermal electrons behind dipolarization fronts (2011, background): “Then a DF characterized by the jump of Bz from 2 to 10 nT is detected around 07:16:41 UT. Ahead of the DF is observed a short‐duration (∼2 s) dip [Sergeev et al., 2009].”
• On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, methodology): “This assumption has been supported by DF-vicinity observations of plasma flows [Schmid et al., 2011], electric fields [Fu et al., 2012], and plasma populations [Sergeev et al., 2009].”
• Electric structure of dipolarization front at sub‐proton scale (2012, background): “Strong gradients of Bz and density at the DF as well as the pileup of magnetic field behind the DF generate strong DC electric fields as well as electromagnetic waves in a broad frequency range [e.g., Sergeev et al., 2009; Zhou et al., 2009; Deng et al. 2010; Khotyaintsev et al., 2011].”
• Particle Acceleration in the Magnetotail and Aurora (2012, background): “This underlying mechanism is similar to that invoked for dipolarization events that do not necessarily lead to a full substorm (Runov et al. 2009) but may be associated with energetic particle flux enhancements, nevertheless (Sergeev et al. 2009).”
• Accelerated ions ahead of earthward propagating dipolarization fronts (2010, methodology): “[5] The interaction of the propagating DFs with the ambient plasma was investigated [ Sergeev et al., 2009 ] by making use of the particle data.”
• Particle acceleration in dipolarization events (2013, methodology): “…1968; Arnoldy and Chan, 1969; Baker et al., 1978; Belian et al., 1981] or, more generally, dipolarization events [e.g., Nakamura et al., 2002; Runov et al., 2009; Sergeev et al., 2009; Deng et al., 2010], characterized by a rapid change from stretched, tail-like to more dipolar magnetic fields.”
• Dipolarization fronts as a consequence of transient reconnection: In situ evidence (2013, background): “[2] Dipolarization fronts (DFs) [Nakamura et al., 2002; Runov et al., 2009] are kinetic boundaries [Sergeev et al., 2009; Fu et al., 2012a] embedded inside high-speed plasma flows.”
