Rankin, Robert, Watt, Clare E. J.
We investigate parallel electron acceleration due to inertial Alfven wave pulses in the presence of Lorentzian ( kappa) distribution functions which possess high-energy tails. A linear kinetic dispersion relation for inertial Alfven waves is derived whose solutions are used to guide the analysis...

Spence, Harlan, Reeves, Geoffrey D., Zhou, X. Z., Fu, Suiyan, Yuan, C. J., Lui, A. T. Y., Blake, J. B., Rankin, Robert, Hao, Yixin, Baker, D. N., Zong, Qiugang
On 23 November 2012, a sudden dropout of the relativistic electron flux was observed after an interplanetary shock arrival. The dropout peaks at ∼1 MeV and more than 80% of the electrons disappeared from the drift shell. Van Allen twin Probes observed a sharp electron flux dropout with clear...

A three-dimensional compressible resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation code, with inclusion of the fully generalized Ohm's law, has been developed to study the nonlinear evolution of field line resonances in Earth's magnetosphere. A simple Cartesian box model of an inhomogeneous plasma with...

Blanco, Mauricio, Artemyev, Anton V., Rankin, Robert
In this paper we study the interaction of kinetic Alfven waves generated near the equatorial plane of the magnetosphere with electrons having initial energies up to similar to 100 eV. Wave-particle interactions are investigated using a theoretical model of trapping into an effective potential...

Turkakin, Hava, Rankin, Robert, Mann, Ian R.
The emission of propagating MHD waves from the boundaries of flow channels that are unstable to the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability (KHI) in magnetized plasma is investigated. The KHI and MHD wave emission are found to be two competing processes. It is shown that the fastest growing modes of the KHI...

Enhanced N2 and O2 densities inferred from EISCAT observations of Pc5 waves and associated electron precipitation
Download2016
Yau, Andrew W., Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
An advanced two-dimensional numerical model of the coupled ionosphere and magnetosphere is used to analyze EISCAT observations of ULF waves that are accompanied by electron precipitation with a wide energy spectrum. The observations show columns of significantly enhanced electron density produced...

The paper “Disc-Jet Coupling in the Terzan 5 Neutron Star X-ray Binary EXO 1745−248” was published as Tetarenko et al. 2016, MNRAS, 460, 345–355. In Section 3.3 of the paper there is a minor error in equation (1). The correct equation is as follows, (logLR−logLR,c)=logξ+β(logLX−logLX,c). (1) The...

Sydorenko, Dmytro, Kabin, Konstantin, Rankin, Robert
A nonlinear two-dimensional fluid model describing excitation of the ionospheric Alfven resonator by a shear Alfven wave coming from the magnetosphere is developed. Initially, the plasma is in an equilibrium defined by a balance between the gravity, electric field, and pressure gradient forces....

We present simultaneous radio through sub-mm observations of the black hole X-ray binary (BHXB) V404 Cygni during the most active phase of its June 2015 outburst. Our 4 h long set of overlapping observations with the Very Large Array, the Sub-millimeter Array and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope...

Extreme quiescent variability of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 1745-248 in Terzan 5

EXO 1745−248 is a transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that resides in the globular cluster Terzan 5. We studied the transient during its quiescent state using 18 Chandra observations of the cluster acquired between 2003 and 2016. We found an extremely variable source, with a luminosity...
