Magnetospheric Multiscale Dayside Reconnection Electron Diffusion Region Events

J. M. Webster, J. L. Burch, P. H. Reiff +21

We have used the high-resolution data of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission dayside phase to identify twenty-one previously unreported encounters with the electron diffusi…

Localized Oscillatory Dissipation in Magnetopause Reconnection

J. L. Burch, R. E. Ergun, P. A. Cassak +26

Data from the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are used to investigate asymmetric magnetic reconnection at the dayside boundary between the Earth's magnetosphere and th…

MMS observation of asymmetric reconnection supported by 3-D electron pressure divergence

Kevin J. Genestreti, Ali Varsani, Jim L. Burch +20

We identify a dayside electron diffusion region (EDR) encountered by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and estimate the terms in generalized Ohm's law that controlled ene…

Electron scale structures and magnetic reconnection signatures in the turbulent magnetosheath

E. Yordanova, Z. Vörös, A. Varsani +26

Collisionless space plasma turbulence can generate reconnecting thin current sheets as suggested by recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The MMS mission pro…

The effect of a guide field on local energy conversion during asymmetric magnetic reconnection: MMS observations

Kevin Genestreti, Jim Burch, Paul Cassak +9

We compare case studies of Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)-observed magnetopause electron diffusion regions (EDRs) to determine how the rate of work done by the electric field, $\v…

Simulation of Observed Magnetic Holes in the Magnetosheath

Narges Ahmadi, Kai Germaschewski, Joachim Raeder

Magnetic holes have been frequently observed in the magnetosheath of Earth and it is believed that these structures are the result of nonlinear evolution of mirror instability. Mir…

On the origin of the crescent-shaped distributions observed by MMS at the magnetopause

G. Lapenta, J. Berchem, M. Zhou +12

MMS observations recently confirmed that crescent-shaped electron velocity distributions in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field occur in the electron diffusion region nea…
