In situ evidence of firehose instability in multiple reconnection
Alexandra Alexandrova, Alessandro Retinò, Andrey Divin +7
Energy conversion via reconnecting current sheets is common in space and astrophysical plasmas. Frequently, current sheets disrupt at multiple reconnection sites, leading to the fo…
Observational Evidence for Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration of Electrons at the Earth's Bow Shock
T. Amano, T. Katou, N. Kitamura +14
The first-order Fermi acceleration of electrons requires an injection of electrons into a mildly relativistic energy range. However, the mechanism of injection has remained a puzzl…
Electron Heating by Debye-Scale Turbulence in Guide-Field Reconnection
Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham, K. Steinvall +14
We report electrostatic Debye-scale turbulence developing within the diffusion region of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection with moderate guide field using observations by the Ma…
On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath
Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20
The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…
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…
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…
