Imaging X-ray polarimetry explorer: prelaunch
(SPIE-Intl Soc Optical Eng, 2022-04-14)Launched on 2021 December 9, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a NASA Small Explorer Mission in collaboration with the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The mission will open a new window of investigation—imaging ... -
Statistical inference with stochastic gradient algorithms
(2022-11-14)The tuning of stochastic gradient algorithms (SGAs) for optimization and sampling is often based on heuristics and trial-and-error rather than generalizable theory. We address this theory–practice gap by characterizing ... -
Dependence of nonlinear effects on whistler-mode chorus wave bandwidth and amplitude: a perspective from diffusion coefficients
(2021-12-17)The electron resonant interaction with whistler-mode waves is characterized by transport in pitch angle–energy space. We calculate electron diffusion and advection coefficients (a simplified characterization of transport) ... -
Juno Plasma Wave Observations at Ganymede.
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2022-12-16)The Juno Waves instrument measured plasma waves associated with Ganymede's magnetosphere during its flyby on 7 June, day 158, 2021. Three distinct regions were identified including a wake, and nightside and dayside regions ... -
Equations of motion near cyclotron resonance
(2022-06-16)This work compares several versions of the equations of motion for a test particle encountering cyclotron resonance with a single, field-aligned whistler mode wave. The gyro-averaged Lorentz equation produces both widespread ... -

Energetic charged particle observations during Juno's close flyby of Ganymede
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2022-12-16)On 7 June 2021, NASA's Juno mission obtained unique measurements of Ganymede's magnetosphere during a close flyby that brought the spacecraft within ∼1,000 km of its surface. Here Jupiter Energetic particle Detector ... -
An event of extreme relativistic and ultra-relativistic electron enhancements following the arrival of consecutive corotating interaction regions: coordinated observations by Van Allen Probes, Arase, THEMIS and Galileo satellites
(2022-08-30)[During July to October of 2019, a sequence of isolated Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) impacted the magnetosphere, for four consecutive solar rotations, without any interposed Interplanetary Coronal Mass Ejections. ... -
Analytical results for phase bunching in the pendulum model of wave-particle interactions
(2022-07-15)[Radiation belt electrons are strongly affected by resonant interactions with cyclotron-resonant waves. In the case of a particle passing through resonance with a single, coherent wave, a Hamiltonian formulation is ... -
Unraveling the formation region and frequency of chorus spectral gaps
(2022-09-29)Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves could cause a simultaneous dropout of radiation belt electrons and ring current protons. However, their effects on the dropout of both plasma populations have not been quantified ...
