Storm-Time Cusp Precipitation: Insights from TRACERS Multi-Crossing Observations
Shirsh Lata Soni, David M. Miles, Jasper Halekas +12
The dayside cusp provides a direct pathway for solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere ionosphere system through magnetic reconnection. Using low altitude ion and electron m…
Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual-Lobe Reconnection
M. Øieroset, S. A. Fuselier, J. B. Bonnell +20
We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS-2 orbits through the northern low-altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS-2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and…
Atmospheric Escape Rates from Mars - If it Orbited an Old M-Dwarf Star
David A. Brain, Ofer Cohen, Thomas E. Cravens +35
Atmospheric escape is an important process that influences the evolution of planetary atmospheres. A variety of physical mechanisms can contribute to escape from an atmosphere, inc…
Atomic and Molecular Nitrogen Ions at the Dayside Magnetopause During the 2024 Mother's Day Storm
R. G. Gomez, S. A. Fuselier, S. K. Vines +3
Ion measurements made with the Hot Plasma Composition Analyzers of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS-HPCAs) during the Mother's Day Storm (Gannon Storm) of 10-13 May 2024…
Observation of Chaotic fluctuations in Turbulent Plasma
Riddi Bandyopadhyay, Nicolas V. Sarlis, James M. Weygand +3
Turbulence is a prevalent phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, often characterized by stochastic fluctuations. While laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have…
Multi-scale observation of magnetotail reconnection onset: 2. microscopic dynamics
K. J. Genestreti, C. Farrugia, S. Lu +23
We analyze the local dynamics of magnetotail reconnection onset using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data. In conjunction with MMS, the macroscopic dynamics of this event were cap…
Multi-scale observation of magnetotail reconnection onset: 1. macroscopic dynamics
K. J. Genestreti, C. Farrugia, S. Lu +22
We analyze a magnetotail reconnection onset event on 3 July 2017 that was observed under otherwise quiescent magnetospheric conditions by a fortuitous conjunction of six space and…
Observation of Inertial-range Energy Cascade within a Reconnection Jet in Earth's Magnetotail
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Alexandros Chasapis, D. J. Gershman +6
Earth's magnetotail region provides a unique environment to study plasma turbulence. We investigate the turbulence developed in an exhaust produced by magnetic reconnection at the…
Multi-scale coupling during magnetopause reconnection: the interface between the electron and ion diffusion regions
K. J. Genestreti, Y. -H. Liu, T. -D. Phan +15
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) encountered the primary low-latitude magnetopause reconnection site when the inter-spacecraft separation exceeded the upstream ion inertial length.…
How the IMF Induces a Local Component During Northward IMF and Characteristic Timescales
P. Tenfjord, N. Østgaard, S. Haaland +7
We use the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry global magnetohydrodynamics model to study the effects of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) component on the coupling between…
Mirror modes: Nonmaxwellian distributions
M. Gedalin, Yu. E. Lyubarsky, M. Balikhin +2
We perform direct analysis of mirror mode instabilities from the general dielectric tensor for several model distributions, in the longwavelength limit. The growth rate at the inst…
