Field Aligned Currents Derived from Pressue Profiles Obtained from TWINS ENA Images 

Wood, Keith (2017-08-21)
Field aligned currents (FACs) are an important mechanism coupling the Earth's magnetosphere and ionosphere. The Two Wide-Angle Imaging Neutral-atom Spectrometers (TWINS) mission is the first stereoscopic neutral atom ...

Gyrokinetic Electron and Fully Kinetic Ion Particle Simulation on Current Sheet Instabilities 

Wang, Zhenyu (2016-07-20)
Linear eigenmode stability properties of three-dimensional instabilities in a Harris current sheet with a finite guide magnetic field are systematically studied employing the gyrokinetic electron and fully kinetic ion ...
