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…
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…
Earth wind as a possible source of lunar surface hydration
H. Z. Wang, J. Zhang, Q. Q. Shi +23
Understanding the sources of lunar water is crucial for studying the history of lunar evolution, and also the solar wind interaction with the Moon and other airless bodies. Recent…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
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…
Electron crescent distributions as a manifestation of diamagnetic drift in an electron scale current sheet
A. C. Rager, J. C. Dorelli, D. J. Gershman +16
We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electron pressure gradient electric fields near a magnetic reconnection diffusion region using a new technique for extracting 7.…
Non-thermal Electrons at the Earth's Bow Shock: A `Gradual' Event
M. Oka, T. Terasawa, M. Fujimoto +6
Earth's bow shock is known to produce non-thermal electrons which are generally observed as a `spike' in their flux profile. Here, in this paper, we present an analysis of electron…
