In situ Measurement of Curvature of Magnetic Field in Turbulent Space Plasmas: A Statistical Study

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Yan Yang, William H. Matthaeus +10

Using in situ data, accumulated in the turbulent magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission, we report a statistical study of magnetic field curvature and discuss…

A New Method of 3D Magnetic Field Reconstruction

R. B. Torbert, I. Dors, M. R. Argall +6

A method is described to model the magnetic field in the vicinity of constellations of multiple satellites using field and plasma current measurements. This quadratic model has the…

Electron Heating by Debye-Scale Turbulence in Guide-Field Reconnection

Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham, K. Steinvall +14

We report electrostatic Debye-scale turbulence developing within the diffusion region of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection with moderate guide field using observations by the Ma…

Sign singularity of the local energy transfer in space plasma turbulence

Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Gaetano De Vita, Federico Fraternale +18

In weakly collisional space plasmas, the turbulent cascade provides most of the energy that is dissipated at small scales by various kinetic processes. Understanding the characteri…

Three-Dimensional X-line Spreading in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection

Tak Chu Li, Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse +1

The spreading of the X-line out of the reconnection plane under a strong guide field is investigated using large-scale three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations in…

In-situ observation of Hall Magnetohydrodynamic Cascade in Space Plasma

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Luca Sorriso-Valvo, Alexandros Chasapis +13

We present estimates of the turbulent energy cascade rate, derived from a Hall-MHD third-order law. We compute the contribution from the Hall term and the MHD term to the energy fl…

Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Quasi-Parallel Shocks

I. Gingell, S. J. Schwartz, J. P. Eastwood +15

Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedd…
