Observation of a Knotted Electron Diffusion Region in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Xinmin Li, Chuanfei Dong, Hantao Ji +6
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process that alters the magnetic field topology and releases magnetic energy. Most numerical simulations and spacecraft observations a…
Electrostatic solitary waves in the Earth's bow shock: nature, properties, lifetimes and origin
R. Wang, I. Y. Vasko, F. S. Mozer +4
We present a statistical analysis of more than two thousand bipolar electrostatic solitary waves (ESW) collected from ten quasi-perpendicular Earth's bow shock crossings by Magneto…
Multi-Beam Energy Moments of Compound Measured Ion Velocity Distributions
Martin V. Goldman, David. L. Newman, Jonathan P. Eastwood +3
Compound ion distributions, fi(v), have been measured by NASA's Magnetospheric Multi-Scale Mission (MMS) and have been found in reconnection simulations. A complex distribution, fi…
Intermittency and Ion Temperature-Anisotropy Instabilities: Simulation and Magnetosheath Observation
Ramiz A. Qudsi, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Bennett A. Maruca +11
Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microin…
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…
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…
