Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
On the Role of Separatrix Instabilities in Heating the Reconnection Outflow Region
M. Hesse, C. Norgren, P. Tenfjord +10
A study of the role of microinstabilities at the reconnection separatrix can play in heating the electrons during the transition from inflow to outflow is being presented. We find…
How accurately can we measure the reconnection rate for the MMS diffusion region event of 2017-07-11?
Kevin J. Genestreti, Takuma Nakamura, Rumi Nakamura +8
We investigate the accuracy with which the reconnection electric field can be determined from in-situ plasma data. We study the magnetotail electron diffusion region observed…
Generation of Electron Whistler Waves at the Mirror Mode Magnetic Holes: MMS Observations and PIC Simulation
Narges Ahmadi, Frederick Wilder, Robert Ergun +14
The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has observed electron whistler waves at the center and at the edges of magnetic holes in the dayside magnetosheath. The magnetic holes a…
