Abstract A local vortex‐structured aurora and a large‐scale transpolar arc (TPA) were contemporaneously observed by the Polar ultraviolet imager (UVI) during the late recovery phase of a substorm, and the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) BY and BZ were negative and negative‐to‐positive. The TPA grew along the dawnside auroral oval from the nightside

Abstract The seismic behavior of subduction megathrusts varies spatially and is influenced by the properties of subducting plates, including their sedimentary cover. Characterizing these subduction inputs is essential for understanding the mechanisms behind fault slip variability.

Abstract The origin of orthogonally spreading ridge segments separated by oceanic transform faults, versus obliquely spreading ridge segments without transform faults (TFs), is a long‐standing enigma of plate tectonics. We address this problem using three‐dimensional (3D) geodynamic models that simulate axial magmatic intrusions along two ridge ...

Topics in Energy Release and Particle Acceleration in the Heliosphere
This thesis investigates both the release of energy in solar flares, and the acceleration and transport of particles in various astrophysical situations.

Abstract Volcanism in continental rifts, rifted volcanic arcs, and back‐arc basins is fundamentally coupled with crustal extension. However, the precise geometry and timing of the fault systems that facilitate magma transport and accommodate extension remain poorly constrained.

Geodesic Geometry of Black Holes
The study of geodesics is of intrinsic significance in the study of the geometry of space-time. In this thesis null, space-like and time-like geodesics are studied in the case of the space-times of Schwarzschild, Reissner-Nordstrouml;m and Kerr black ...

Abstract Iterative black auroral stripes were identified in auroral images obtained by the low‐altitude microsatellite Reimei. These steady and narrow black stripes are a remarkable feature of diffuse auroras generated by energetic electrons precipitating at higher latitudes than pulsating auroras.

Gravity Wave Activity in the Stratosphere and Mesosphere During Hurricane Sam
Abstract Multi‐instrument observations of gravity wave (GW) activity during Hurricane Sam (2021) were made using AIRS (Atmospheric Infrared Sounder) satellite data, ERA5 reanalysis, and TIMED/SABER temperature profiles. Two GW extraction methods, vertical high‐pass filtering and empirical mode decomposition, were applied to quantify wave‐induced ...

Simulations of high-energy astrophysical phenomena
textSupercomputer technology has revolutionized our studies of the most energetic astrophysical phenomena. Here, I present my simulations of energetic outbursts of gamma rays and the explosions of massive stars, and my efforts to further the ...
