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…
On the Role of Separatrix Instabilities in Heating the Reconnection Outflow Region
M. Hesse, C. Norgren, P. Tenfjord +10
A study of the role of microinstabilities at the reconnection separatrix can play in heating the electrons during the transition from inflow to outflow is being presented. We find…
Drift Turbulence, Particle Transport, and Anomalous Dissipation at the Reconnecting Magnetopause
Ari Le, William Daughton, Obioma Ohia +5
Using fully kinetic 3D simulations, the reconnection dynamics of asymmetric current sheets are examined at the Earth's magnetopause. The plasma parameters are selected to model MMS…
The Physical Foundation of the Reconnection Electric Field
M. Hesse, Y. -H. Liu, L. -J. Chen +8
We report on computer simulations and analytic theory to provide a self-consistent understanding of the role of the reconnection electric field, which extends substantially beyond…
