Comparative Study of Dayside Pulsating Auroras Induced by Ultralow-Frequency Waves
Universe, 2023 Pulsating auroras are usually observed with ultralow-frequency (ULF) waves in the Pc 3–5 band (period 10–600 s). These auroras are thought to result from interactions between energetic electrons and chorus waves, but their relationship with ULF waves ...

Generation of Realistic Short Chorus Wave Packets
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 AbstractMost lower‐band chorus waves observed in the inner magnetosphere propagate under the form of moderately intense short wave packets with fast frequency and phase variations. Therefore, understanding the formation mechanism of such short wave packets is crucial for accurately modeling electron nonlinear acceleration or precipitation into the ...

Observations and modeling of forward and reflected chorus waves captured by THEMIS [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 Discrete ELF/VLF chorus emissions are the most intense electromagnetic plasma waves observed in the radiation belts of the Earth's magnetosphere. Chorus emissions, whistler-mode wave packets propagating roughly along magnetic field lines from a well ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Whistler mode chorus waves frequently appear as discrete, repetitive, and quasi‐monochromatic emissions with frequency chirping. With different wave amplitude and frequency chirping rate, chorus waves have been observed not only in the magnetosphere of ...

Backward-propagating source as a component of rising tone whistler-mode chorus generation
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Whistler-mode chorus waves in the magnetosphere play a crucial role in space weather via wave–particle interactions. The past two decades have observed tremendous advances in theory and simulations of chorus generation; however, several details of the ...

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Auroral brightening driven by interplanetary shocks on Earth's closed magnetic field lines is commonly attributed to the 0.1–10 keV electron precipitations by electron cyclotron harmonic waves and whistler‐mode chorus waves in the low‐density region.

Chorus Wave Modulation of Langmuir Waves in the Radiation Belts [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2017 AbstractUsing high‐resolution waveforms measured by the Van Allen Probes, we report a novel observation in the radiation belts. Namely, we show that multiband, discrete, rising‐tone whistler mode chorus emissions exhibit a one‐to‐one correlation with Langmuir wave bursts.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Plasma kinetic theory predicts that a sufficiently anisotropic electron distribution will excite whistler mode waves, which in turn relax the electron distribution in such a way as to create an upper bound on the relaxed electron anisotropy.

Electron acceleration at Jupiter: input from cyclotron-resonant interaction with whistler-mode chorus waves [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 Jupiter has the most intense radiation belts of all the outer planets. It is not yet known how electrons can be accelerated to energies of 10 MeV or more.

Relativistic Microburst Scale Size Induced by a Single Point‐Source Chorus Element
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Relativistic microbursts are impulsive, sub‐second precipitation bursts of relativistic electrons. They are one of the main loss mechanisms of outer radiation belt electrons, and are driven by chorus waves.
