First Results of Calculation of the Dayside Magnetopause Reconnection Rate with TRACERS
D. E. da Silva, L. J. Chen, B. Burkholder +14
Quantifying the rate of reconnection remains a key challenge in the study of geomagnetic storms. In this study, we present the first results from the new Tandem Reconnection and Cu…

Storm-Time Cusp Precipitation: Insights from TRACERS Multi-Crossing Observations
Shirsh Lata Soni, David M. Miles, Jasper Halekas +12
The dayside cusp provides a direct pathway for solar wind plasma entry into the magnetosphere ionosphere system through magnetic reconnection. Using low altitude ion and electron m…

Simultaneous TRACERS and THEMIS Observations of Reversed Cusp Ion Dispersions and Dual-Lobe Reconnection
M. Øieroset, S. A. Fuselier, J. B. Bonnell +20
We present observations from two consecutive TRACERS-2 orbits through the northern low-altitude cusp. During the first crossing, TRACERS-2 observed reversed cusp ion dispersion and…
