The collisionless plasmas in space and astrophysical environments are intrinsically multiscale nature, behaving as conducting fluids at macroscales kinetically microscales comparable to ion and/or electron gyroradii. A fundamental question understanding the plasma dynamics is how energy transported dissipated across scales. Here, we present spacecraft measurements terrestrial foreshock, a region upstream of bow shock where solar wind population coexists with reflected ions. In this region,...

Abstract The formation and variability of the Van Allen radiation belts are highly influenced by charged particles accelerated via drift‐resonant interactions with ultralow frequency (ULF) waves. In prevailing theory drift resonance, ULF wave amplitude is assumed independent magnetic longitude. This assumption not generally valid in Earth's magnetosphere, as supported numerous observations that point to localized nature Here we introduce a longitude dependence amplitude, achieved von Mises...

Abstract Mirror‐mode structures are widely observed in space plasma environments. Although features within the have been extensively investigated theoretical models and numerical simulations, relatively few observational studies made, due to a lack of high‐cadence measurements particle distributions previous missions.

Abstract The excitation of electrostatic and/or electromagnetic waves in the plasma universe is often associated with anisotropic velocity distributions charged particles. In Earth's inner magnetosphere, this anisotropy can gradually develop as particles injected from magnetotail drift around Earth at different speeds depending on their energy and pitch angle. Here, we show that perpendicular‐moving bouncing ions be separated more abruptly near injection front. These pitch‐angle filters are...

Abstract Earth's inner magnetosphere is a zoo of plasma waves where electromagnetic and electrostatic emissions with distinct frequencies coexist interact. Spacecraft observations have shown that whistler‐mode chorus waves, one the key components in magnetospheric dynamics, are often modulated by ultralow frequency (ULF) waves. Here, we investigate effects two typical ULF wave modes (i.e., field line resonance mirror mode) on nonlinear generation process We report for first time periodic...

Abstract In Earth's inner magnetosphere, electromagnetic waves in the ultralow frequency (ULF) range play an important role accelerating and diffusing charged particles via drift resonance. conventional resonance theory, linearization is applied under assumption of weak wave‐particle energy exchange so particle trajectories are unperturbed. For ULF with larger amplitudes and/or durations, however, theory becomes inaccurate since strongly perturbed. Here we extend into a nonlinear regime, to...

Abstract Ultra‐low frequency (ULF) waves contribute significantly to the dynamic evolution of Earth's magnetosphere by accelerating and transporting charged particles within a wide energy range. A substantial excitation mechanism these is their drift‐bounce resonant interactions with magnetospheric particles.

Abstract We examine the drift‐resonant particle dynamics for toroidal ultralow frequency (ULF) waves in a pure dipole background geomagnetic field. confirm that resonant condition originally believed to apply only poloidal ULF waves, , also applies compressional waves. The predicted phase relationships have been confirmed from Van Allen Probes observations. Their good agreement provides first observational evidence drift resonance controlled by wave. Moreover, we extend theory into nonlinear...

Abstract The 1 Hz whistler wave precursors attached to shock‐like structures are often observed in the foreshock. Using observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we investigate interactions between waves and ions. Incoming solar wind ions do not cyclotron‐resonate with wave, since typically is right‐handed their frame. We demonstrate that commonly exhibit 180° gyro‐phase bunching magnetic field, understanding it a reconciled linear theory non‐linear trapping for...
