Russell, Thomas D., Miller-Jones, James C. A., Sivakoff, Gregory Robert, Altamirano, Diego, O'Brien, Tim J., Page, Kim L., Templeton, Matthew R., Körding, E. G., Knigge, C., Fender, Rob P., Heinz, S., Maitra, D., Markoff, Sera, Rupen, Michael P., Migliari, Simone, Remillard, Ronald Alan, Russell, D. M., Sarazin, Craig L., Waagen, Elizabeth O.
We present the results of our intensive radio observing campaign of the dwarf nova SS Cyg during its 2010 April outburst. We argue that the observed radio emission was produced by synchrotron emission from a transient radio jet. Comparing the radio light curves from previous and subsequent...

The propagating source method for solving the time-dependent Boltzmann equation describing particle propagation in a magnetically turbulent medium is extended to a more realistic case that includes focusing and adiabatic deceleration. The solutions correspond to beam propagation in the solar...

47 Tuc X9 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and was previously thought to be a cataclysmic variable. However, Miller-Jones et al. recently identified a radio counterpart to X9 (inferring a radio/X-ray luminosity ratio consistent with black hole LMXBs), and...

THEMIS observations of the spatial extent and pressure‐pulse excitation of field line resonances

Kabin, Konstantin, Liu, Wenlong, Rankin, Robert, Angelopoulos, Vassilis, Glassmeier, Karl-Heinz, Li, X., Sarris, T. E., Bonnell, John, Talaat, Elsayed R.
We present a case study of Field Line Resonances (FLRs) in the dayside magnetosphere, observed in both electric and magnetic field components at multiple L-shells near the equator. The event measured by the five THEMIS probes and the nearby GOES and Geotail satellites provides a unique...

Kabin, Konstantin, Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Tikhonchuk, Vladimir T.
It is shown that perpendicular gradients in shear Alfvén wave (SAW) dispersion regulate the localization of wave power on nightside geomagnetic L-shells where narrow Field Line Resonances (FLRs) form. We estimate the timescale for this process, ω0tc = 1/equation image, and demonstrate that it is...

Singer, Howard J., Murphy, Kyle R., Degeling, Alex W., Rankin, Robert, Rae, I. Johnathan, Watt, Clare E.
Measurements from ground-based magnetometers and riometers at auroral latitudes have demonstrated that energetic (similar to 30-300 keV) electron precipitation can be modulated in the presence of magnetic field oscillations at ultralow frequencies. It has previously been proposed that an...

Understanding X-ray irradiation in low-mass X-ray binaries directly from their light-curves
Download2018-01-01
Sivakoff, Gregory Robert, Tetarenko, Bailey E., Dubus, G., Lasota, Jean-Pierre, Heinke, Craig O.
The X-ray light curves of the recurring outbursts observed in low-mass X-ray binaries provide strong test beds for constraining (still) poorly understood disc-accretion processes. These light curves act as a powerful diagnostic to probe the physics behind the mechanisms driving mass inflow and...

Artemyev, Anton V., Vasko, Ivan Y., Rankin, Robert
We consider electron acceleration by kinetic Alfvén waves in the equatorial inner magnetosphere and plasma sheet boundary layer. The competition between the accelerating effect of the wave parallel electric field and mirror force acting on particles in an inhomogeneous background magnetic field...

Ma, Y., Flynn, M.R. and B.R. Sutherland
We experimentally investigate the behaviour of a line-source plume falling through a finite two-layer stratified ambient where the depth of the upper ambient layer increases in time. Laboratory observations suggest one of two possible flow regimes depending on the value of 𝜆 , which represents...

Degeling, Alex W., Rankin, Robert, Watt, Clare E.
Pitch angle scattering of electrons can limit the stably trapped particle flux in the magnetosphere and precipitate energetic electrons into the ionosphere. Whistler mode waves generated by a temperature anisotropy can mediate this pitch angle scattering over a wide range of radial distances and...
