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…
Cassini CAPS identification of pickup ion compositions at Rhea
R. T. Desai, S. A. Taylor, L. H. Regoli +9
Saturn's largest icy moon, Rhea, hosts a tenuous surface-sputtered exosphere composed primarily of molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide. In this Letter, we examine Cassini Plasma Sp…
Interstellar Pickup Ion Observations to 38 AU
D. J. McComas, E. J. Zirnstein, M. Bzowski +9
We provide the first direct observations of interstellar H+ and He+ pickup ions in the solar wind from 22 AU to 38 AU. We use the Vasyliunas and Siscoe model functional form to qua…
Using the Coronal Evolution to Successfully Forward Model CMEs' In Situ Magnetic Profiles
C. Kay, N. Gopalswamy
Predicting the effects of a coronal mass ejection (CME) impact requires knowing if impact will occur, which part of the CME impacts, and its magnetic properties. We explore the rel…
Modeling Shocks Detected by Voyager 1 in the Local Interstellar Medium
Tae K. Kim, Nikolai V. Pogorelov, Leonard F. Burlaga
The magnetometer (MAG) on Voyager 1 (V1) has been sampling the interstellar magnetic field (ISMF) since August 2012. The V1 MAG observations have shown draped ISMF in the very loca…
Fermi acceleration of electrons inside foreshock transient cores
Terry Z. Liu, San Lu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2
Foreshock transients upstream of Earth's bow shock have been recently observed to accelerate electrons to many times their thermal energy. How such acceleration occurs is unknown,…
