Experimental Plasma Density Profiles Determined Through Measurements of the Magnetosonic Wave Speed
Cameron Kuchta, Jan Egedal, Abhishek Mhatre +4
Information on plasma density in laboratory plasmas is commonly acquired using either Langmuir probes or optical diagnostics. Here, we present an alternative approach, inferring th…
Electron Heating by Parallel Electric Fields in Magnetotail Reconnection
Louis Richard, Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Cecilia Norgren +5
We investigate electron heating by magnetic-field-aligned electric fields () during anti-parallel magnetic reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail. Using a statistical…
Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror
Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11
The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconducto…
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…
Universality of lower hybrid waves at Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, C. Norgren +15
Waves around the lower hybrid frequency are frequently observed at Earth's magnetopause, and readily reach very large amplitudes. Determining the properties of lower hybrid waves i…
Enhanced Electron Mixing and Heating in 3D Asymmetric Reconnection at the Earth's Magnetopause
Ari Le, William Daughton, Li-Jen Chen +1
Electron heating and mixing during asymmetric reconnection are studied with a 3D kinetic simulation that matches plasma parameters from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft o…
Spacecraft observations and analytic theory of crescent-shaped electron distributions in asymmetric magnetic reconnection
J. Egedal, A. Le, W. Daughton +8
Supported by a kinetic simulation, we derive an exclusion energy parameter providing a lower kinetic energy bound for an electron to cross from one inflow region to the…
