D'Angelo, N. (1991). On the Stenbaek-Nielsen and Hallinan pulsating auroras. Journal of Geophysical Research 96: doi: 10.1029/90JA02378. issn: 0148-0227.

The exceptionally thin pulsating auroral patches observed by Stenbaek-Nielsen and Hallinan (1979) may be caused by an ionization instability occurring at the of the range of precipitating electrons. A comparison is made to laboratory results reported by Johnson et al. (1990).
