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 magnetotai…

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…

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…
