Gurgiolo, C., Larson, D., Lin, R.P. and Wong, H.K. (2000). A gyrophase-bunched electron signature upstream of the Earth's bow shock. Geophysical Research Letters 27: doi: 10.1029/2000GL000065. issn: 0094-8276.

A possible sustained signature of a gyrophase-bunched electron distribution just upstream of the Earth's bow shock is presented. The data, obtained by the ISTP WIND 3-D Plasma and Energetic Particle Experiment, show several clear examples of a non-gyrotropic, energetic electron distribution moving into the upstream. The signature is probably that of a locally phase-trapped electron distribution. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
