Spatio-temporal evolution of pulsating aurora observed using a ground-based imagers by Megha Pandya, Megha Pandya, Ankush Bhaskar, Marilia Samara, Robert Michell, Emma Mirizio, Emma Mirizio, Suk-Bin Kang, Suk-Bin Kang, Lauren W. Blum

“…The pulsating aurora showed very notable characteristics, such as frequency drift in their pulsation with time and drifting of the entire pulsating auroral structure in space. We find that (i) the entire pulsating auroral patch was observed to drift northward at a velocity of approximately 76 m/s, which aligns closely with the local convection velocities obtained from Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN) data, consistent with the idea that the patch motion is primarily due to E×B convection. …”

Looking at Infrared Background Radiation Anisotropies with Spitzer: Large-scale Anisotropies and Their Implications by A. Kashlinsky, Richard G. Arendt, M. L. N. Ashby, J. Kruk, N. Odegard

“…We discuss the proposed theories for the origin of the excess CIB anisotropies in light of the new data. Out of these, the model where the CIB fluctuation excess originates from the granulation power due to LIGO-observed primordial black holes as dark matter appears most successful in accounting for all observations related to the measured CIB power amplitude and spatial structure, including the measured coherence between the CIB and unresolved cosmic X-ray background (CXB). …”
