Observational evidence of magnetic reconnection in the terrestrial bow shock transition region
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We report evidence of magnetic reconnection in the transition region of the terrestrial bow shock when the angle between the shock normal and the immediate upstream magnetic field…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
On the Role of Separatrix Instabilities in Heating the Reconnection Outflow Region
M. Hesse, C. Norgren, P. Tenfjord +10
A study of the role of microinstabilities at the reconnection separatrix can play in heating the electrons during the transition from inflow to outflow is being presented. We find…
How the IMF Induces a Local Component During Northward IMF and Characteristic Timescales
P. Tenfjord, N. Østgaard, S. Haaland +7
We use the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamics model to study the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) component on the coupling between…
Interplanetary Magnetic Field Component Influence on Horizontal and Field-Aligned Currents in the Ionosphere
K. M. Laundal, J. P. Reistad, C. C. Finlay +4
Statistical analyses have shown that the sunward component of the interplanetary magnetic field, (Geocentric Solar Magnetospheric), moderately but significantly af…
Observations of Asymmetries in Ionospheric Return Flow During Different Levels of Geomagnetic Activity
J. P. Reistad, N. Østgaard, K. M. Laundal +7
It is known that the magnetic field of the Earth's closed magnetosphere can be highly displaced from the quiet-day configuration when interacting with the interplanetary magnetic f…
