• A statistical and event study of magnetotail dipolarization fronts (2011, background): “This means that there is a large percentage (38 %) of tailward flows with Vx < −100 km s−1 when one compares this number with what is cited by Angelopoulos et al. (1994) for tailward BBFs in the same region (7 %).”
• Geospace exploration project ERG (2018, methodology): “The Space Physics Environment Data Analysis System (SPEDAS) (Angelopoulos 2008) is used for the data analysis software in the ERG project, which involves several Interactive Data Language (IDL) programs and is commonly used in the space physics community.”

• On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, methodology): “During the 2008 and 2009 tail seasons, the five probes traveled through the magnetotail with different apogees [Sibeck and Angelopoulos, 2008]: P1 had an apogee of ~30 RE; P2, ~20 RE; and P3, P4, and P5, 10–12 RE (all in downtail distance).”
• The Upgraded CARISMA Magnetometer Array in the THEMIS Era (2008, methodology): “CARISMA data will contribute directly to each of the science objectives of the THEMIS mission (see Angelopoulos 2008) which can be summarized as: • Onset and evolution of the macroscale substorm instability • Production of storm-time MeV electrons.”
• First Results of the THEMIS Search Coil Magnetometers (2008, background): “It agrees also with the velocity infered from ground based and polar observations (for more details see [1]).”
