  1. 1. Electron energization in near-Earth space : Studies of kinetic scales using multi-spacecraft data

    Author : Elin Eriksson; Andris Vaivads; Masahiro Hoshino; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; magnetic reconnection; electron acceleration; electron heating; magnetosheath; magnetotail; magnetic nulls; Cluster; Magnetospheric MultiScale; Fysik med inriktning mot rymd- och plasmafysik; Physics with specialization in Space and Plasma Physics;

    Abstract : Plasma, a gas of charged particles exhibiting collective behavior, is everywhere in the Universe. The heating of plasma to millions of degrees and acceleration of charged particles to very high energies has been observed in many astrophysical environments. How and where the heating and acceleration occur is in many cases unclear. READ MORE

  2. 2. Auroral electrodynamics of plasma boundary regions

    Author : Sónia Liléo; Göran Marklund; Anders Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : The electrodynamic coupling between the auroral ionosphere and the magnetosphere is the main subject of this thesis. Satellite measurements of electric and magnetic fields and of charged particles are used to explore three distinct plasma boundaries, magnetically linked to the nightside auroral ionosphere. READ MORE
