Multi‐Ion Oscillitons—Origin of Coherent Magnetospheric EMIC Waves

Interaction of Energetic Ring Current Protons with Magnetospheric Hydromagnetic Waves

On the origin of high m magnetospheric waves

[1] A survey of Advanced Rio‐Imaging Experiment in Scandinavia data reveals evidence for a previously overlooked generation mechanism of high azimuthal wave number magnetospheric waves. Here we present observations of pulsating cosmic noise absorption with azimuthal wave numbers as high as 380, suggestive of precipitation modulation by magnetospheric waves. Dispersion relations of the small‐sca...

Coherent transport of matter waves

A transport theory for atomic matter waves in low-dimensional waveguides is outlined. The thermal fluctuation spectrum of magnetic near fields leaking out of metallic microstructures is estimated. The corresponding scattering rate for paramagnetic atoms turns out to be quite large in micrometer-sized waveguides (approx. 100/s). Analytical estimates for the heating and decoherence of a cold atom...

Magnetospheric Filter Effect for PC 3 Alfven Mode Waves

We present a ray-tracing study of the propagation of PC 3 Alfven mode waves originating at the dayside magnetopause. This study reveals interesting features of a magnetospheric filter effect for these waves. PC 3 Alfven mode waves cannot penetrate to low Earth altitudes unless the wave frequency is below approximately 30 mHz. Configurations of the dispersion curves and the refractive index show...

Force Free Waves and Black Hole Magnetospheric Causality

The force free approximation is often useful when describing tenuous plasmas in strong cosmic magnetic fields. Time evolution of any such system is governed by the information that can be transported along the characteristics of the plasma modes allowed by the force free constraint. This brief article elucidates, for the first time, the nature of the information that can be transported along th...
