Configuration of magnetotail current sheet prior to magnetic reconnection onset
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
The magnetotail current sheet configuration determines magnetic reconnection properties that control the substorm onset, one of the most energetic phenomena in the Earth's magnetos…
Fast inverse transform sampling of non-Gaussian distribution functions in space plasmas
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Non-Gaussian distributions are commonly observed in collisionless space plasmas. Generating samples from non-Gaussian distributions is critical for the initialization of particle-i…
Suppression of reconnection in polarized, thin magnetotail current sheets: 2D simulations and implications
Xin An, Anton Artemyev, Vassilis Angelopoulos +3
Many in-situ spacecraft observations have demonstrated that magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail is largely controlled by the pre-reconnection current sheet configurati…
