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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
