A study of inverted-V auroral acceleration mechanisms using Polar/Fast Auroral Snapshot conjunctions

• We present observations of electrons and ions that have been affected by an auroral plasma acceleration mechanism. In the nine events studied, nearly simultaneous and magnetically conjugate measurements were made by instruments on the Fast Auroral Snapsho
