On the current sheets surrounding dipolarizing flux bundles in the magnetotail: The case for wedgelets (2013, background): “Ambient plasma sheet ions and electrons undergo acceleration at the strong magnetic and electric fields at the DFB’s edge, the dipolarization front [Zhou et al., 2010, 2011; Gabrielse et al., 2012].”
Average thermodynamic and spectral properties of plasma in and around dipolarizing flux bundles (2015, background): “This suggests that either the ambient plasma provides the source population for DFBs or the upcoming DFB front affects the ambient plasma by interaction with ambient particles [e.g., Zhou et al., 2010, 2011; Ukhorskiy et al., 2013].”
Occurrence rate of earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts (2012, background): “…et al., 2011; Huang et al., 2012] are frequently observed; the electric structure [Zhang et al., 2011; Fu et al., 2012] together with the acceleration of electrons [e.g., Fu et al., 2011; Ashour‐Abdalla et al., 2011] and ions [e.g., Zhou et al., 2010; Artemyev et al., 2012] are also reported.”
