Observations of Energized Electrons in the Martian Magnetosheath

K. Horaites, L. Andersson, S. J. Schwartz +5

This observational study demonstrates that the magnitude and location of energization of electrons in the Martian magnetosheath is more complex than previous studies suggest. Elect…

Shear-Driven Transition to Isotropically Turbulent Solar Wind Outside the Alfven Critical Zone

D. Ruffolo, W. H. Matthaeus, R. Chhiber +11

Motivated by prior remote observations of a transition from striated solar coronal structures to more isotropic ``flocculated'' fluctuations, we propose that the dynamics of the in…

Narrowband oblique whistler-mode waves: Comparing properties observed by Parker Solar Probe at <0.2 AU and STEREO at 1 AU

C. Cattell, B. Short, A. Breneman +15

AIM: Large amplitude narrowband obliquely propagating whistler-mode waves at frequencies of ~0.2 fce (electron cyclotron frequency) are commonly observed at 1 AU, and are most cons…

A new Look at the Electron Diffusion Region in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection

Michael Hesse, Cecilia Norgren, Paul Tenfjord +10

A new look at the structure of the electron diffusion region in collisionless magnetic reconnection is presented. The research is based on a particle-in-cell simulation of asymmetr…

Small-scale Magnetic Flux Ropes in the First two Parker Solar Probe Encounters

Yu Chen, Qiang Hu, Lingling Zhao +15

Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SFRs) are a type of structures in the solar wind that possess helical magnetic field lines. In a recent report (Chen & Hu 2020), we presented the r…

Direct Measurement of the Solar-Wind Taylor Microscale using MMS Turbulence Campaign Data

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, William H. Matthaeus, Alexandros Chasapis +7

Using the novel Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission data accumulated during the 2019 MMS Solar Wind Turbulence Campaign, we calculate the Taylor microscale o…

The magnetic structure of the subsolar MPB current layer from MAVEN observations: Implications for the Hall electric force

G. Boscoboinik, C. Bertucci, D. Gomez +7

We report on the local structure of the Martian subsolar Magnetic Pileup Boundary (MPB) from minimum variance analysis of the magnetic field measured by the Mars Atmosphere and Vol…

Interplay of Turbulence and Proton-Microinstability Growth in Space Plasmas

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Ramiz A. Qudsi, William H. Matthaeus +13

Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the ac…

Long-term variations of quasi-trapped and trapped electrons in the inner radiation belt observed by DEMETER and SAMPEX

Kun Zhang, Xinlin Li, Zheng Xiang +5

Electrons in the Earth's radiation belts can be categorized into three populations: precipitating, quasi-trapped and trapped. We use data from the DEMETER and SAMPEX missions and f…

Statistical properties of magnetic structures and energy dissipation during turbulent reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail

K. Bergstedt, H. Ji, J. Jara-Almonte +3

We present the first statistical study of magnetic structures and associated energy dissipation observed during a single period of turbulent magnetic reconnection, by using the \te…

Intermittency and Ion Temperature-Anisotropy Instabilities: Simulation and Magnetosheath Observation

Ramiz A. Qudsi, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Bennett A. Maruca +11

Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microin…
