Magnetopause reconnection and indents induced by foreshock turbulence
Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng, Yuri Omelchenko +1
Based on global hybrid simulation results, we predict that foreshock turbulence can reach the magnetopause and lead to reconnection as well as Earth-sized indents. Both the interpl…
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…
Ion-scale current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We investigate electric current structures in Short Large-Amplitude Magnetic Structures (SLAMS) in the terrestrial ion foreshock region observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mi…
Electron energy partition across interplanetary shocks: II. Statistics
Lynn B. Wilson, Li-Jen Chen, Shan Wang +10
A statistical analysis of 15,210 electron velocity distribution function (VDF) fits, observed within 2 hours of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks by the spacecraft near 1 A…
Electron energy partition across interplanetary shocks: I. Methodology and Data Product
Lynn B. Wilson, Li-Jen Chen, Shan Wang +10
Analysis of 15314 electron velocity distribution functions (VDFs) within 2 hours of 52 interplanetary (IP) shocks observed by the \emph{Wind} spacecraft near 1 AU are introduc…
Observational evidence of magnetic reconnection in the terrestrial bow shock transition region
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We report evidence of magnetic reconnection in the transition region of the terrestrial bow shock when the angle between the shock normal and the immediate upstream magnetic field…
