Earth's Alfvén Wings: Unveiling Dynamic Variations of Field-line Topologies with Electron Distributions
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +6
The magnetic cloud (MC) of the Coronal Mass Ejection on April 24, 2023, contains sub-Alfvénic solar wind, transforming Earth's magnetosphere from conventional bow-shock magnetotail…
Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Out-of-plane Parallel Current in the Diffusion Regions: The Interaction Between Diffusion Region Systems and their Impact on the Outer EDR
Jason M. H. Beedle, Daniel J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +5
Dayside magnetic reconnection allows for the transfer of the solar wind's energy into Earth's magnetosphere. This process takes place in electron diffusion regions (EDRs) embedded…
Advanced methods for analyzing in-situ observations of magnetic reconnection
H. Hasegawa, M. R. Argall, N. Aunai +33
There is ample evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar system, but it is a nontrivial task to visualize, to determine the proper approaches and frames to study, and in turn…
Relating the Phases of Magnetic Reconnection Growth to the Temporal Evolution of X-line Structures in a Collisionless Plasma
D. S. Payne, R. B. Torbert, K. Germaschewski +2
The efficiency of energy conversion during magnetic reconnection is related to the reconnection rate. While the stable reconnection rate has been studied extensively, its growth be…
Electron-scale reconnection in three-dimensional shock turbulence
J. Ng, L. -J. Chen, N. Bessho +3
Magnetic reconnection has been observed in the transition region of quasi-parallel shocks. In this work, the particle-in-cell method is used to simulate three-dimensional reconnect…
Automatic Region Identification over the MMS Orbit by Partitioning n-T space
D. da Silva, A. Barrie, J. Shuster +4
Space plasma data analysis and mission operations are aided by the categorization of plasma data between different regions of the magnetosphere and identification of the boundary r…
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…
Electron crescent distributions as a manifestation of diamagnetic drift in an electron scale current sheet
A. C. Rager, J. C. Dorelli, D. J. Gershman +16
We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electron pressure gradient electric fields near a magnetic reconnection diffusion region using a new technique for extracting 7.…
