Observations of an Electron-cold Ion Component Reconnection at the Edge of an Ion-scale Antiparallel Reconnection at the Dayside Magnetopause
S. Q. Zhao, H. Zhang, Terry Z. Liu +11
Solar wind parameters play a dominant role in reconnection rate, which controls the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling efficiency at Earth's magnetopause. Besides, low-energy ions f…
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations of foreshock transients at their very early stage
Terry Z. Liu, Xin An, Hui Zhang +1
Foreshock transients are ion kinetic structures in the ion foreshock. Due to their dynamic pressure perturbations, they can disturb the bow shock and magnetosphere-ionosphere syste…
Formation of foreshock transients and associated secondary shocks
Xin An, Terry Z. Liu, Jacob Bortnik +2
Upstream of shocks, the foreshock is filled with hot ions. When these ions are concentrated and thermalized around a discontinuity, a diamagnetic cavity bounded by compressional bo…
Electron acceleration by magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves
Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2
Magnetosheath jets are localized fast flows with enhanced dynamic pressure. When they supermagnetosonically compress the ambient magnetosheath plasma, a bow wave or shock can form…
Statistical study of magnetosheath jet-driven bow waves
Terry Z. Liu, Heli Hietala, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
When a magnetosheath jet (localized dynamic pressure enhancements) compresses ambient magnetosheath at a (relative) speed faster than the local magnetosonic speed, a bow wave or sh…
Fermi acceleration of electrons inside foreshock transient cores
Terry Z. Liu, San Lu, Vassilis Angelopoulos +2
Foreshock transients upstream of Earth's bow shock have been recently observed to accelerate electrons to many times their thermal energy. How such acceleration occurs is unknown,…
