Observation of O+ Characteristics During the Terrestrial Alfvén Wing State Induced by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection

Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Stephen A. Fuselier +7

We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of oxygen ions (O+) during a coronal mass ejection in April 2023 when the solar wind was sub-Alfvénic and Alfvén wings formed. For…

Interaction of the Prominence Plasma within the Magnetic Cloud of an ICME with the Earth's Bow Shock

Hadi Madanian, Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng +5

The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a mag…

Impact of the Out-of-Plane Flow Shear on Magnetic Reconnection at the Flanks of Earth's Magnetopause

Haoming Liang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +1

Magnetic reconnection changes the magnetic field topology and facilitates the energy and particle exchange at magnetospheric boundaries such as the Earth's magnetopause. The flow s…

The Interplay Between Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence

J. E. Stawarz, P. A. Muñoz, N. Bessho +13

Alongside magnetic reconnection, turbulence is another fundamental nonlinear plasma phenomenon that plays a key role in energy transport and conversion in space and astrophysical p…

Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection

Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33

We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the mag…

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…

The Physical Foundation of the Reconnection Electric Field

M. Hesse, Y. -H. Liu, L. -J. Chen +8

We report on computer simulations and analytic theory to provide a self-consistent understanding of the role of the reconnection electric field, which extends substantially beyond…
