First Results of Calculation of the Dayside Magnetopause Reconnection Rate with TRACERS
D. E. da Silva, L. J. Chen, B. Burkholder +14
Quantifying the rate of reconnection remains a key challenge in the study of geomagnetic storms. In this study, we present the first results from the new Tandem Reconnection and Cu…
Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual-Lobe Reconnection
M. Øieroset, S. A. Fuselier, J. B. Bonnell +20
We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS-2 orbits through the northern low-altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS-2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and…
Atomic and Molecular Nitrogen Ions at the Dayside Magnetopause During the 2024 Mother's Day Storm
R. G. Gomez, S. A. Fuselier, S. K. Vines +3
Ion measurements made with the Hot Plasma Composition Analyzers of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS-HPCAs) during the Mother's Day Storm (Gannon Storm) of 10-13 May 2024…
Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Ion Dynamics Across a Low Mach Number Bow Shock
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, A. P. Dimmock +4
A thorough understanding of collisionless shocks requires knowledge of how different ion species are accelerated across the shock. We investigate a bow shock crossing using the Mag…
Interstellar Conditions Deduced from Interstellar Neutral Helium Observed by IBEX and Global Heliosphere Modeling
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, J. Heerikhuisen +8
In situ observations of interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms by the IBEX-Lo instrument onboard the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission are used to determine the veloci…
The Effect of Angular Scattering Imposed by Charge Exchange and Elastic Collisions on Interstellar Neutral Hydrogen Atoms
F. Rahmanifard, P. Swaczyna, E. J. Zirnstein +7
Angular scattering in charge exchange and elastic collisions between interstellar ions and neutral (ISN) atoms has been assumed to be negligible in previous studies. Here, we inves…
Relative In-flight Response of IBEX-Lo to Interstellar Neutral Helium Atoms
P. Swaczyna, M. Bzowski, S. A. Fuselier +7
The IBEX-Lo instrument on the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) mission measures interstellar neutral (ISN) helium atoms. The detection of helium atoms is made through negative…
Ion Acceleration at Magnetotail Plasma Jets
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B Graham +6
We investigate a series of Earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in Earth's magnetotail at (-24, 7, 4) RE in Geocentric Sola…
The structure of a perturbed magnetic reconnection electron diffusion region
G. Cozzani, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +9
We report in situ observations of an electron diffusion region (EDR) and adjacent separatrix region. We observe significant magnetic field oscillations near the lower hybrid freque…
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…
Magnetosperic Multiscale (MMS) observation of plasma velocity-space cascade: Hermite representation and theory
S. Servidio, A. Chasapis, W. H. Matthaeus +10
Plasma turbulence is investigated using high-resolution ion velocity distributions measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS) in the Earth's magnetosheath. The particl…
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…
Interstellar neutral helium in the heliosphere from IBEX observations. III. Mach number of the flow, velocity vector, and temperature from the first six years of measurements
M. Bzowski, P. Swaczyna, M. A. Kubiak +10
We analyzed observations of interstellar neutral helium (ISN~He) obtained from the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX) satellite during its first six years of operation. We used…
Warm Breeze from the starboard bow: a new population of neutral helium in the heliosphere
M. A. Kubiak, M. Bzowski, J. M. Sokół +9
We investigate the signals from neutral He atoms observed from Earth orbit in 2010 by IBEX. The full He signal observed during the 2010 observation season can be explained as a sup…
Solar wind reflection from the lunar surface: The view from far and near
L. Saul, P. Wurz, A. Vorburger +7
The Moon appears bright in the sky as a source of energetic neutral atoms (ENAs). These ENAs have recently been imaged over a broad energy range both from near the lunar surface, b…
