Simulation Models for Exploring Magnetic Reconnection
Michael Shay, Subash Adhikari, Naoki Beesho +22
Simulations have played a critical role in the advancement of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection. However, due to the inherently multiscale nature of reconnection, it is imposs…
Graph Representation of the Magnetic Field Topology in High-Fidelity Plasma Simulations for Machine Learning Applications
Ioanna Bouri, Fanni Franssila, Markku Alho +4
Topological analysis of the magnetic field in simulated plasmas allows the study of various physical phenomena in a wide range of settings. One such application is magnetic reconne…
First 3D hybrid-Vlasov global simulation of auroral proton precipitation and comparison with satellite observations
Maxime Grandin, Thijs Luttikhuis, Markus Battarbee +15
The precipitation of charged particles from the magnetosphere into the ionosphere is one of the crucial coupling mechanisms between these two regions of geospace and is associated…
2D reconstruction of magnetotail electron diffusion region measured by MMS
J. M. Schroeder, J. Egedal, G. Cozzani +4
Models for collisionless magnetic reconnection in near-Earth space are distinctly characterized as 2D or 3D. In 2D kinetic models, the frozen-in law for the electron fluid is usual…
The structure of a perturbed magnetic reconnection electron diffusion region
G. Cozzani, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +9
We report in situ observations of an electron diffusion region (EDR) and adjacent separatrix region. We observe significant magnetic field oscillations near the lower hybrid freque…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
In situ evidence of firehose instability in multiple reconnection
Alexandra Alexandrova, Alessandro Retinò, Andrey Divin +7
Energy conversion via reconnecting current sheets is common in space and astrophysical plasmas. Frequently, current sheets disrupt at multiple reconnection sites, leading to the fo…
ViDA: a Vlasov-DArwin solver for plasma physics at electron scales
Oreste Pezzi, Giulia Cozzani, Francesco Califano +6
We present a Vlasov-DArwin numerical code (ViDA) specifically designed to address plasma physics problems, where small-scale high accuracy is requested even during the non linear r…
In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection
Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18
The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…
Magnetospheric Multiscale Dayside Reconnection Electron Diffusion Region Events
J. M. Webster, J. L. Burch, P. H. Reiff +21
We have used the high-resolution data of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission dayside phase to identify twenty-one previously unreported encounters with the electron diffusi…
