The physics of collisionless shocks is a very broad topic which has been studied for more
than five decades. However, there are a number of important issues which remain …

The Earth's auroral electrons produce copious non-thermal radio emissions of various types,
including auroral kilometric radiation (AKR), whistler mode auroral hiss, mode conversion …

The present 15th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series is devoted to Auroral Plasma
Physics. The aurora is arguably the most intriguing phenomenon in space plasma physics …

Using observations from the FAST small explorer spacecraft, we present fields and plasma
observations above the dayside auroral oval showing the erosion of ionospheric plasmas …

Sheared flows in near‐Earth space plasmas, both magnetic‐field‐aligned and cross‐field,
contribute to a rich array of phenomena which can be simulated in the laboratory. This has …

To determine the wavelength of waves within a random, isotropic wave field, we introduce
the observable of wave coherency measured with plasma wave interferometers. We show …

Many advances in understanding space plasma phenomena have been linked to insight
derived from theoretical modeling and/or laboratory experiments. Advances for which …

The subject of lower-hybrid solitary structures (LHSS), sometimes called lower-hybrid
cavities, is reviewed. LHSS are spatially localized structures embedded in space plasmas …

In this paper we present a review of sounding rocket observations of the ion acceleration
seen in nightside auroral zone lower hybrid solitary structures. Observations from Topaz3 …

Localized electrostatic wave packets in the frequency region of lower hybrid waves have
been detected by the instruments on the FREJA satellite and also earlier by instrumented …
