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…
Solar wind interaction with comet 67P: impacts of corotating interaction regions
Niklas J. T. Edberg, A. I. Eriksson, E. Odelstad +18
We present observations from the Rosetta Plasma Consortium of the effects of stormy solar wind on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Four corotating interaction regions (CIRs), where…
CME impact on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Niklas J. T. Edberg, M. Alho, M. André +22
We present Rosetta observations from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during the impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME impacted on 5-6 Oct 2015, when Rosetta was about 80…
Kinetic range spectral features of cross-helicity using MMS
Tulasi N. Parashar, Alexandros Chasapis, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay +13
We study spectral features of ion velocity and magnetic field correlations in the solar wind and in the magnetosheath using data from the Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) spacecraf…
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 accurately can we measure the reconnection rate for the MMS diffusion region event of 2017-07-11?
Kevin J. Genestreti, Takuma Nakamura, Rumi Nakamura +8
We investigate the accuracy with which the reconnection electric field can be determined from in-situ plasma data. We study the magnetotail electron diffusion region observed…
A nearly continuous observation of the equatorial plasmasphere from the inner radiation belt to near a magnetopause reconnection site
Kevin J. Genestreti, Stephen A. Fuselier, John C. Foster +4
On 22 October 2015, VAP and MMS obtained near-continuous observations of the full radial extent of the duskside equatorial plasmasphere and plume. The plume is evident in in situ p…
In Situ Observations of Preferential Pickup Ion Heating at an Interplanetary Shock
E. J. Zirnstein, D. J. McComas, R. Kumar +6
Non-thermal pickup ions (PUIs) are created in the solar wind (SW) by charge-exchange between SW ions (SWIs) and slow interstellar neutral atoms. It has long been theorized, but not…
Solar Wind Turbulence Studies using MMS Fast Plasma Investigation Data
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, A. Chasapis, R. Chhiber +17
Studies of solar wind turbulence traditionally employ high-resolution magnetic field data, but high-resolution measurements of ion and electron moments have been possible only rece…
MMS Observations of Beta-Dependent Constraints on Ion Temperature-Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetosheath
Bennett A. Maruca, A. Chasapis, S. P. Gary +15
Protons (ionized hydrogen) in the solar wind frequently exhibit distinct temperatures ( and ) perpendicular and parallel to the plasma's background ma…
Incompressive Energy Transfer in the Earth's Magnetosheath: Magnetospheric Multiscale Observations
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, A. Chasapis, R. Chhiber +14
Using observational data from the \emph{Magnetospheric Multiscale} (MMS) Mission in the Earth's magnetosheath, we estimate the energy cascade rate using different techniques within…
Orientation and stability of asymmetric magnetic reconnection x-line
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Tak Chu Li +2
The orientation and stability of the reconnection x-line in asymmetric geometry is studied using three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell simulations. We initiate reconnection at th…
Generation of Electron Whistler Waves at the Mirror Mode Magnetic Holes: MMS Observations and PIC Simulation
Narges Ahmadi, Frederick Wilder, Robert Ergun +14
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has observed electron whistler waves at the center and at the edges of magnetic holes in the dayside magnetosheath. The magnetic holes a…
