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 magnetotail…
Foreshock Ultra-Low Frequency Waves at Mars: Consequence on the Particle Acceleration Mechanisms at the Martian Bow Shock
Nahuel Andrés, Norberto Romanelli, Christian Mazelle +3
Using Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Magnetometer observations, we report the first statistical study of ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves at the Martian foreshock. The analy…
Simulation Models for Exploring Magnetic Reconnection
Michael Shay, Subash Adhikari, Naoki Beesho +22
Simulations have played a critical role in the advancement of our knowledge of magnetic reconnection. However, due to the inherently multiscale nature of reconnection, it is imposs…
Turbulence properties and kinetic signatures of electron in Kelvin-Helmholtz waves during a geomagnetic storm
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +5
We present a comprehensive study of Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft encounter with KHI during a geomagnetic storm, focusing on elucidating key turbulence properties and…
Field-Aligned Current Structures during the Terrestrial Magnetosphere's Transformation into Alfven Wings and Recovery
Jason M. H. Beedle, Li-Jen Chen, Jason R. Shuster +8
On April 24th, 2023, a CME event caused the solar wind to become sub-Alfvenic, leading to the development of an Alfven Wing configuration in the Earth's Magnetosphere. Alfven Wings…
Interplanetary magnetic field controlled Alfvén wings at Earth during encounter of a coronal mass ejection
Yuxi Chen, Chuanfei Dong, Li-Jen Chen +2
In the vicinity of Earth's orbit, the typical solar wind Alfvén Mach number exceeds 5, and the super-Alfvénic solar wind drives a conventional magnetosphere configuration. However,…
Intermittent Electron-Only Reconnection at Lunar Mini-Magnetospheres
Adam Stanier, Li-Jen Chen, Ari Le +2
Lunar crustal magnetic anomalies (LCMA) are sub-ion-gyroradius structures that have been shown to stand off the solar wind (SW) plasma from the Moon's surface, forming shock-like d…
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…
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…
