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…
Using Forbush decreases to derive the transit time of ICMEs propagating from 1 AU to Mars
Johan L. Freiherr von Forstner, Jingnan Guo, Robert F. Wimmer-Schweingruber +13
The propagation of 15 interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) from Earth's orbit (1 AU) to Mars (~ 1.5 AU) has been studied with their propagation speed estimated from both m…
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…
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…
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…
Localized and intense energy conversion in the diffusion region of asymmetric magnetic reconnection
M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake, L. Price +3
We analyze a high-resolution simulation of magnetopause reconnection observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and explain the occurrence of strongly localized dissip…
Modeling Transport of Energetic Particles in Corotating Interaction Region -- A case Study
Lulu Zhao, Gang Li, R. W. Ebert +5
We investigate energetic particle transport in Corotating Interaction Regions (CIRs) through a case study. The CIR event we study occurred on February and was observed…
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…
Electron crescent distributions as a manifestation of diamagnetic drift in an electron scale current sheet
A. C. Rager, J. C. Dorelli, D. J. Gershman +16
We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electron pressure gradient electric fields near a magnetic reconnection diffusion region using a new technique for extracting 7.…
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…
Seven Years of Imaging the Global Heliosphere with IBEX
D. J. McComas, E. J. Zirnstein, M. Bzowski +12
The Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) has now operated in space for 7 years and returned nearly continuous observations that have led to scientific discoveries and reshaped our…
Turbulence in Three-Dimensional Simulations of Magnetopause Reconnection
L. Price, M. Swisdak, J. F. Drake +3
We present detailed analysis of the turbulence observed in three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause. The parameters are represent…
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…
Corotating Magnetic Reconnection Site in Saturn's Magnetosphere
Zhonghua Yao, A. J. Coates, L. C. Ray +12
Using measurements from the Cassini spacecraft in Saturn's magnetosphere, we propose a 3D physical picture of a corotating reconnection site, which can only be driven by an interna…
