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…
Relating the Phases of Magnetic Reconnection Growth to the Temporal Evolution of X-line Structures in a Collisionless Plasma
D. S. Payne, R. B. Torbert, K. Germaschewski +2
The efficiency of energy conversion during magnetic reconnection is related to the reconnection rate. While the stable reconnection rate has been studied extensively, its growth be…
On the origin of "patchy" energy conversion in electron diffusion regions
Kevin J. Genestreti, Xiaocan Li, Yi-Hsin Liu +9
During magnetic reconnection, field lines interconnect in electron diffusion regions (EDRs). In some EDRs the reconnection and energy conversion rates are controlled by a steady ou…
