A Review of Field-Aligned Acceleration by Anomalous Resistivity (a. Precipitating Particles and Auroras) (Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Coordinated Observations of the Ionosphere and Magnetosphere in the Polar Regions : Part I)
Basic concepts of anomalous resistivity and the physical mechanism of current driven instabilities are reviewed with a view to applying them to the field-aligned acceleration of auroral electrons. A paradox that an anomalous 'resistivity' contributes to acceleration of electrons is resolve...
