DOI: 10.1029/2019gl082008
Abstract: Energetic particle injections are characterized by dispersive or dispersionless increases in observed particle flux. Observations from National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission have revealed transient events displaying injection‐like dispersed reductions in energetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl096335
Abstract: Abstract Shock waves in collisionless plasmas are among the most efficient particle accelerators in space. Shock reformation is a process important to plasma heating and acceleration, but direct observations of reformation at quasi‐parallel shocks have… read more here.
