Generation of Electron Whistler Waves at the Mirror Mode Magnetic Holes: MMS Observations and PIC Simulation
Narges Ahmadi, Frederick Wilder, Robert Ergun +14
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has observed electron whistler waves at the center and at the edges of magnetic holes in the dayside magnetosheath. The magnetic holes a…
3D Magnetic Reconnection with a spatially confined X-line extent -- Implications for Dipolarizing Flux Bundles and the Dawn-Dusk Asymmetry
Yi-Hsin Liu, Tak Chu Li, Michael Hesse +5
Using 3D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations, we study magnetic reconnection with the x-line being spatially confined in the current direction. We include thick current layers to pr…
Flexible Metasurface Holograms
James Burch, Dandan Wen, Xianzhong Chen +1
Metasurface holograms are typically fabricated on rigid substrates. Here we experimentally demonstrate broadband, flexible, conformable, helicity multiplexed metasurface holograms…
The Persistent Mystery of Collisionless Shocks
Katherine Goodrich, Steven Schwartz, Lynn Wilson +14
Collisionless shock waves are one of the main forms of energy conversion in space plasmas. They can directly or indirectly drive other universal plasma processes such as magnetic r…
Ion-scale current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We investigate electric current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the terrestrial ion foreshock region observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mi…
Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the m…
