Hybrid simulations of the cusp and dayside magnetosheath dynamics under \ quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields
J. Ng, L. J. Chen, Y. Omelchenko +2
Under quasi-radial interplanetary magnetic fields (IMF), foreshock turbulence can have an impact on the magnetosheath and cusps depending on the location of the quasi-parallel shoc…
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…
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…
Drift instabilities in thin current sheets using a two-fluid model with pressure tensor effects
J. Ng, A. Hakim, J. Juno +1
The integration of kinetic effects in fluid models is important for global simulations of the Earth's magnetosphere. We use a two-fluid ten moment model, which includes the pressur…
An extended MHD study of the 16 October 2015 MMS diffusion region crossing
J. M. TenBarge, J. Ng, J. Juno +3
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has given us unprecedented access to high cadence particle and field data of magnetic reconnection at Earth's magnetopause. MMS first pa…
Using the maximum entropy distribution to describe electrons in reconnecting current sheets
Jonathan Ng, Ammar Hakim, Amitava Bhattacharjee
Particle distributions in weakly collisional environments such as the magnetosphere have been observed to show deviations from the Maxwellian distribution. These can often be repro…
