On the contribution of thermal excitation to the total 630.0 nm emissions in the northern cusp ionosphere [PDF]
Direct impact excitation by precipitating electrons is believed to be the main source of 630.0 nm emissions in the cusp ionosphere. However, this paper investigates a different source, 630.0 emissions caused by thermally excited atomic oxygen O$(^{1}$D ...

Transpolar voltage and polar cap flux during the substorm cycle and steady convection events [PDF]
Transpolar voltages observed during traversals of the polar cap by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-13 spacecraft during 2001 are analyzed using the expanding-contracting polar cap model of ionospheric convection.

Dynamic Drivers of TIFe Diurnal Cycle in Antarctica [PDF]
The discovery of the thermosphere-ionosphere Fe (TIFe) layers has opened a door to exploring the least understood thermosphere and ionosphere region between 100 and 200 km with ground-based lidar instruments. The characteristics of the polar TIFe layers,

Stellar wind-magnetosphere interaction at exoplanets: computations of auroral radio powers
We present calculations of the auroral radio powers expected from exoplanets with magnetospheres driven by an Earth-like magnetospheric interaction with the solar wind.

The solar wind has been seen as the major source of hot magnetospheric plasma since the early 1960’s. More recent theoretical and observational studies have shown that the cold (few eV) polar wind and warmer polar cusp plasma that flow continuously ...

Stare radar views polar ionosphere
The ionosphere serves as a closure path for electrical currents flowing from one part of the magnetosphere to another. How this happens is shown in detail by recent work of R. A. Greenwald at the Max Planck Institute, using the Scandinavian twin auroral radar experiment (Stare).

Magnetic Shear Damped Polar Convective Fluid Instabilities
The influence of the magnetic field shear is studied on the $E\times B$ (and/or Gravitational) and the Current Convective Instabilities (CCI) occuring in the High latitude F-layer ionosphere.

Upper atmospheres and ionospheres of planets and satellites
The upper atmospheres of the planets and their satellites are more directly exposed to sunlight and solar wind particles than the surface or the deeper atmospheric layers.
