Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual-Lobe Reconnection
M. Ãieroset, 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…

The May 2024 Storm: dayside magnetopause and cusps in simulated soft X-Rays
J. Ng, L. -J. Chen, B. Burkholder +10
The coronal mass ejection (CME) arriving at Earth on May 10, 2024 caused the most intense geomagnetic storm in the last two decades, and resulted in highly unusual magnetopause and…

Kinetic simulations underestimate the effects of waves during magnetic reconnection
J. Ng, J. Yoo, L. -J. Chen +2
Collisionless plasma systems are often studied using fully kinetic simulations, where protons and electrons are treated as particles. Due to their computational expense, it is nece…
