Multi-Mission Observations of Relativistic Electrons and High-Speed Jets Linked to Shock Generated Transients

Savvas Raptis, Martin Lindberg, Terry Z. Liu +19

Shock-generated transients, such as hot flow anomalies (HFAs), upstream of planetary bow shocks, play a critical role in electron acceleration. Using multi-mission data from NASA's…

Thin current sheet behind the dipolarization front

Nakamura, R., Baumjohann +25

We report a unique conjugate observation of fast flows and associated current sheet disturbances in the near-Earth magnetotail by MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale) and Cluster preced…

Estimation of the electron density from spacecraft potential during high frequency electric field fluctuations

O. W. Roberts, R. Nakamura, K. Torkar +10

Spacecraft potential has often been used to infer electron density with much higher time resolution than is typically possible with plasma instruments. However, recently two studie…

MMS observation of asymmetric reconnection supported by 3-D electron pressure divergence

Kevin J. Genestreti, Ali Varsani, Jim L. Burch +20

We identify a dayside electron diffusion region (EDR) encountered by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and estimate the terms in generalized Ohm's law that controlled ene…

Satellite Observations of Separator Line Geometry of Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection

C. J. Xiao, X. G. Wang, Z. Y. Pu +14

Detection of a separator line that connects magnetic nulls and the determination of the dynamics and plasma environment of such a structure can improve our understanding of the thr…

In situ evidence for the structure of the magnetic null in a 3D reconnection event in the Earth's magnetotail

C. J. Xiao, X. G. Wang, Z. Y. Pu +12

Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes in astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas. Identifying the structure around the point at which the magnetic field…
