Collaborative Research Activities of the Arase and Van Allen Probes. [PDF]
AbstractThis paper presents the highlights of joint observations of the inner magnetosphere by the Arase spacecraft, the Van Allen Probes spacecraft, and ground-based experiments integrated into spacecraft programs. The concurrent operation of the two missions in 2017–2019 facilitated the separation of the spatial and temporal structures of dynamic ...

Spacecraft surface charging within geosynchronous orbit observed by the Van Allen Probes. [PDF]
AbstractUsing the Helium Oxygen Proton Electron (HOPE) and Electric Field and Waves (EFW) instruments from the Van Allen Probes, we explored the relationship between electron energy fluxes in the eV and keV ranges and spacecraft surface charging. We present statistical results on spacecraft charging within geosynchronous orbit by L and MLT.

The plasma environment inside geostationary orbit: A Van Allen Probes HOPE survey. [PDF]
AbstractThe two full precessions in local time completed by the Van Allen Probes enable global specification of the near‐equatorial inner magnetosphere plasma environment. Observations by the Helium‐Oxygen‐Proton‐Electron (HOPE) mass spectrometers provide detailed insight into the global spatial distribution of electrons, H+, He+, and O+.

Science of the Van Allen Probes Science Operations Centers. [PDF]
AbstractThe Van Allen Probes mission operations materialized through a distributed model in which operational responsibility was divided between the Mission Operations Center (MOC) and separate instrument specific SOCs. The sole MOC handled all aspects of telemetering and receiving tasks as well as certain scientifically relevant ancillary tasks.

Van Allen Probes Observations of Symmetric Stormtime Compressional ULF Waves. [PDF]
AbstractPrevious spacecraft studies showed that stormtime poloidal ultralow‐frequency (ULF) waves in the ring current region have an antisymmetric (second harmonic) mode structure about the magnetic equator. This paper reports Van Allen Probes observations of symmetric ULF waves in the postnoon sector during a moderate geomagnetic storm.

Combined model of topside ionosphere and plasmasphere derived from radio-occultation and Van Allen Probes data [PDF]
In the last years, electron density profile functions characterized by a linear dependence on the scale height showed good results when approximating the topside ionosphere. The performance above 800 km, however, is not yet well investigated.

Magnetohydrodynamic modeling of three Van Allen Probes storms in 2012 and 2013 [PDF]
Coronal mass ejection (CME)-shock compression of the dayside magnetopause has been observed to cause both prompt enhancement of radiation belt electron flux due to inward radial transport of electrons conserving their first adiabatic invariant and ...

Van Allen Probes observation of plasmaspheric hiss modulated by injected energetic electrons [PDF]
Plasmaspheric hiss was observed by Van Allen Probe B in association with energetic electron injections in the outer plasmasphere. The energy of injected electrons coincides with the minimum resonant energy calculated for the observed hiss wave ...
