Ion Temperature Anisotropy Limits from Magnetic Curvature Scattering in Magnetotail Reconnection Jets
Louis Richard, Anton V. Artemyev, Cecilia Norgren +3
In collisionless plasmas, relaxation of the deviations of ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs) from local thermodynamic equilibrium occurs through particle interactions with…
Electron Heating by Parallel Electric Fields in Magnetotail Reconnection
Louis Richard, Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Cecilia Norgren +5
We investigate electron heating by magnetic-field-aligned electric fields () during anti-parallel magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail. Using a statistical…
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…
Ohm's Law, the Reconnection Rate, and Energy Conversion in Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Yi-Hsin Liu, Michael Hesse, Kevin Genestreti +12
Magnetic reconnection is a ubiquitous plasma process that transforms magnetic energy into particle energy during eruptive events throughout the universe. Reconnection not only conv…
A new Look at the Electron Diffusion Region in Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection
Michael Hesse, Cecilia Norgren, Paul Tenfjord +10
A new look at the structure of the electron diffusion region in collisionless magnetic reconnection is presented. The research is based on a particle-in-cell simulation of asymmetr…
Electron acceleration and thermalization at magnetotail separatrices
C. Norgren, M. Hesse, P. Tenfjord +8
In this study we use the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to investigate the electron acceleration and thermalization occurring along the magnetic reconnection separatrices…
