New Measure of the Dissipation Region in Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection
Seiji Zenitani, Michael Hesse, Alex Klimas +1
A new measure to identify a small-scale dissipation region in collisionless magnetic reconnection is proposed. The energy transfer from the electromagnetic field to plasmas in the…
Distinct Scaling Regimes of Energy Release Dynamics in the Nighttime Magnetosphere
V. M. Uritsky, E. Donovan, A. J. Klimas +1
Based on a spatiotemporal analysis of POLAR UVI images, we show that the auroral emission events that initiate equatorward of the isotropic boundary (IB) obtained from a time-depen…
Self-Organized Criticality and Intermittent Turbulence in an MHD Current Sheet with a Threshold Instability
Alexander J. Klimas, Vadim M. Uritsky, Maya Paczuski
We report numerical evidence of a self-organized criticality (SOC) and intermittent turbulence (IT) symbiosis in a resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) current sheet model that incl…
