In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts

Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21

Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…

Automatic classification of plasma regions in near-Earth space with supervised machine learning: application to Magnetospheric Multi Scale 2016-2019 observations

Hugo Breuillard, Romain Dupuis, Alessandro Retino +3

The proper classification of plasma regions in near-Earth space is crucial to perform unambiguous statistical studies of fundamental plasma processes such as shocks, magnetic recon…

In situ evidence of firehose instability in multiple reconnection

Alexandra Alexandrova, Alessandro Retinò, Andrey Divin +7

Energy conversion via reconnecting current sheets is common in space and astrophysical plasmas. Frequently, current sheets disrupt at multiple reconnection sites, leading to the fo…

In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection

Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18

The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…

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…

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…

Effects of equatorial chorus wave normal azimuthal distribution on wave propagation

H. Breuillard, D. Mendzhul, O. Agapitov

The non-ducted propagation characteristics of the VLF waves in the inner magnetosphere were studied with respect to their frequency, source localization, and initial wave normal an…
