Proton Aurora at Mars: Assessing the Characteristics, Variability, and Driving Mechanisms of a Newly Discovered Phenomenon
… variability and driving processes of proton aurora at Mars. Proton aurora are the most recently discovered of the three types of Martian aurora. Due to Mars’ lack of a global dipole magnetic field, the formation processes of Martian proton aurora are uniquely different than aurora on …

Global Structure of the Nightside Proton Precipitation during Substorms using Simulations and Observations
… current sheets, the first adiabatic invariant of protons can be violated leading to pitch angle diffusion into the loss cone and ultimately auroral precipitation. The central plasma sheet typically provides a stretched enough magnetic field configuration to account for the nightside proton …
