The Interplay Between Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence
J. E. Stawarz, P. A. Muñoz, N. Bessho +13
Alongside magnetic reconnection, turbulence is another fundamental nonlinear plasma phenomenon that plays a key role in energy transport and conversion in space and astrophysical p…
Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the mag…
Small Platforms, High Return: The Need to Enhance Investment in Small Satellites for Focused Science, Career Development, and Improved Equity
James Paul Mason, Robert G. Begbie, Maitland Bowen +33
In the next decade, there is an opportunity for very high return on investment of relatively small budgets by elevating the priority of smallsat funding in heliophysics. We've lear…
MMS SITL Ground Loop: Automating the burst data selection process
Matthew R. Argall, Colin Small, Samantha Piatt +13
Global-scale energy flow throughout Earth's magnetosphere (MSP) is catalyzed by processes that occur at Earth's magnetopause (MP). Magnetic reconnection is one process responsible…
Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Quasi-Parallel Shocks
I. Gingell, S. J. Schwartz, J. P. Eastwood +15
Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedd…
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…
Generation of Electron Whistler Waves at the Mirror Mode Magnetic Holes: MMS Observations and PIC Simulation
Narges Ahmadi, Frederick Wilder, Robert Ergun +14
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has observed electron whistler waves at the center and at the edges of magnetic holes in the dayside magnetosheath. The magnetic holes a…
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…
Asymmetric magnetic reconnection with a flow shear and applications to the magnetopause
C. E. Doss, C. M. Komar, P. A. Cassak +3
We perform a theoretical and numerical study of anti-parallel 2D magnetic reconnection with asymmetries in the density and reconnecting magnetic field strength in addition to a bul…
