The FUV instrument on IMAGE frequently observes localized ultraviolet emission on the high latitude dayside, poleward of the normal auroral oval. There are two different types of these localized emissions: Proton precipitation into the cusp after lobe reconnection at the magnetopause and emissions produced by electron acceleration after reconnection.
