Comparisons of Energetic Electron Observations Between FIREBIRD‐II CubeSats and POES/MetOp Satellites From 2018 to 2020 by I. M. Householder, K. A. Duderstadt, J. M. Pettit, A. T. Johnson, C.‐L. Huang, A. B. Crew, D. M. Klumpar, T. Raeder, J. G. Sample, M. Shumko, S. S. Smith, H. E. Spence

“…The analysis considers 51 high quality conjunction events at >300 keV during times of low to moderate geomagnetic activity. The spacecraft capture similar electron flux variability, and FIREBIRD‐II observations fall between POES/MetOp 0° and 90° telescopes, likely a result of FIREBIRD‐II sampling both precipitating and mirrored electrons due to uncertainties in pointing direction. …”

Extreme Heating of Minor Ions in Imbalanced Solar-wind Turbulence by Michael F. Zhang, Matthew W. Kunz, Jonathan Squire, Kristopher G. Klein

“…Additional features include a steep transition-range electromagnetic spectrum, proton-cyclotron waves propagating in the direction of the imbalance, significantly enhanced proton-to-electron heating ratios, ion temperatures that are considerably more perpendicular with respect to magnetic field, and extreme heating of heavier species in a manner consistent with mass scalings inferred from spacecraft measurements. None of these features are realized in an otherwise equivalent simulation of balanced turbulence. …”
