Feedback instability (FI) has been investigated as a possible mechanism explaining self-excitation of auroral arcs in the magnetosphere-ionosphere (M-I) coupling system. Nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of FI demonstrated growth of auroral structures, development of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, and turbulence transition both in slab and dipole field configurations. Recently, we also have carried out nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of FI in the slab M-I coupling system which successfully confirm field-aligned acceleration of electrons by dispersive Alfven waves during auroral growth.
The present study reports recent extension of the gyrokinetic code GKV [1] to include M-I coupling in the dipole field configuration, where mirror motions of electrons and ions are fully considered. Results of the linear gyrokinetic simulation show growth of FI self-consistently including the parallel electric field and the mirror motions. Future extensions including the drift wave instabilities will also be discussed.
