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

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...
