Non-Maxwellianity of electron distributions near Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, M. André +6
Plasmas in Earth's outer magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind are essentially collisionless. This means particle distributions are not typically in thermodynamic equilibriu…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
Major Scientific Challenges and Opportunities in Understanding Magnetic Reconnection and Related Explosive Phenomena throughout the Universe
H. Ji, A. Alt, S. Antiochos +97
This white paper summarizes major scientific challenges and opportunities in understanding magnetic reconnection and related explosive phenomena as a fundamental plasma process.
In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection
Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18
The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…
