Generation of Bernstein waves by ion shell distributions in the auroral region
Hot ion shell distributions could possibly contain enough free energy for waves that could power electron energisation above auroral inverted-V regions. Using both linear theory (WHAMP) and two-dimensional electrostatic simulations, we show that ion shell distributions can cause unstable ion...
