Thin current sheet behind the dipolarization front
Nakamura, R., Baumjohann +25
We report a unique conjugate observation of fast flows and associated current sheet disturbances in the near-Earth magnetotail by MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale) and Cluster preced…
Magnetic Reconnection within the Boundary Layer of a Magnetic Cloud in the Solar Wind
Zoltán Vörös, Ali Varsani, Emiliya Yordanova +5
The twisted local magnetic field at the front or rear regions of the magnetic clouds (MCs) associated with interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) is often nearly opposite to…
Estimation of the electron density from spacecraft potential during high frequency electric field fluctuations
O. W. Roberts, R. Nakamura, K. Torkar +10
Spacecraft potential has often been used to infer electron density with much higher time resolution than is typically possible with plasma instruments. However, recently two studie…
Assessing the time dependence of reconnection with Poynting's theorem: MMS observations
Kevin J. Genestreti, Paul A. Cassak, Ali Varsani +3
We investigate the time dependence of electromagnetic-field-to-plasma energy conversion in the electron diffusion region of asymmetric magnetic reconnection. To do so, we consider…
Electron scale structures and magnetic reconnection signatures in the turbulent magnetosheath
E. Yordanova, Z. Vörös, A. Varsani +26
Collisionless space plasma turbulence can generate reconnecting thin current sheets as suggested by recent results of numerical magnetohydrodynamic simulations. The MMS mission pro…
The effect of a guide field on local energy conversion during asymmetric magnetic reconnection: MMS observations
Kevin Genestreti, Jim Burch, Paul Cassak +9
We compare case studies of Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)-observed magnetopause electron diffusion regions (EDRs) to determine how the rate of work done by the electric field, $\v…
