Formation of auroral arcs via magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling
Abstract
The aurora results from electrons that first are energized at very high altitudes by the solar wind-earth interactions and then travel down magnetic field lines until they hit the atmosphere. The basic physical processes are described that lead to the energization of these electrons and thus to the aurora.
