Direct Evidence for Magnetic Reflection of Heavy Ions from High Mach Number Collisionless Shocks
Hadi Madanian, Steven J. Schwartz, Stephen A. Fuselier +5
Strong shocks in collisionless plasmas, such as supernovae shocks and shocks driven by coronal mass ejections, are known to be a primary source of energetic particles. Due to their…
In situ evidence of ion acceleration between consecutive reconnection jet fronts
Filomena Catapano, Alessandro Retino, Gaetano Zimbardo +21
Processes driven by unsteady reconnection can efficiently accelerate particles in many astrophysical plasmas. An example are the reconnection jet fronts in an outflow region. We pr…
The Dynamics of a High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shock: MMS Observations
H. Madanian, M. I. Desai, S. J. Schwartz +12
Shock parameters at Earth's bow shock in rare instances can approach the Mach numbers predicted at supernova remnants. We present our analysis of a high Alfvén Mach number ($M_A= 2…
In situ spacecraft observations of a structured electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection
Giulia Cozzani, Alessandro Retinò, Francesco Califano +18
The Electron Diffusion Region (EDR) is the region where magnetic reconnection is initiated and electrons are energized. Because of experimental difficulties, the structure of the E…
