Estimated nitric oxide density in auroras from ground-based photometric data
In this paper, we numerically estimate the nitric oxide density in auroras, using photometric data on 427.8, 557.7, and 630.0 nm emission intensities. The data were obtained at midnight at observatories of the Polar Geophysical Institute. These estimates

Simultaneous Precipitation of Sub‐Relativistic Electron Microburst and Pulsating Aurora Electrons
Abstract We have identified for the first time an energy‐time dispersion of precipitating electron flux in a pulsating aurora patch, ranging from 6.7 to 580 keV, through simultaneous in‐situ observations of sub‐relativistic electrons of microburst precipitations and lower‐energy electrons using the Loss through Auroral Microburst ...

The Effect of Compression Induced Chorus Waves on 10–100 s eV Electron Precipitation
On 7 January 2014, a solar storm erupted, which eventually compressed the Earth's magnetosphere leading to the generation of chorus waves. These waves enhanced local wave‐particle interactions and led to the precipitation of electrons from 10 s eV to 100

Particle precipitation during ICME-driven and CIR-driven geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) and corotating interaction regions (CIR) alter the parameters of the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) that affect conditions in the Earth's magnetosphere and particle precipitation in the ...

A Method for Imaging Energetic Particle Precipitation With Subionospheric VLF Signals
Energetic particle precipitation (EPP) is a key loss mechanism for radiation belt particles. Quantification of the precipitation loss rate feeds into the electron lifetimes used by radiation belt models and is needed to improve understanding of radiation

The driving mechanisms of particle precipitation during the moderate geomagnetic storm of 7 January 2005 [PDF]
International audienceThe arrival of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) triggered a sudden storm commencement (SSC) at ~09:22 UT on the 7 January 2005. The ICME followed a quiet period in the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF).
