Abstract: Recent kinetic simulations have revealed that electromagnetic instabilities near the ion gyrofrequency and slightly away from the equatorial plane can be driven by a current parallel to the magnetic field prior to the arrival of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11430-019-9551-y
Abstract: In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts (DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster, THEMIS, MMS) and numerical simulations (including MHD, test-particle, hybrid, LSK, PIC) of these processes.… read more here.

Abstract: Using an extended MHD model including the Hall effect and finite Larmor radius effect, we reproduce multiple dipolarization fronts (DFs) associated with the interchange instability in the braking region of bursty bulk flow in the… read more here.
