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…
Dependence of Kinetic Plasma Turbulence on Plasma beta
Tulasi N. Parashar, William H. Matthaeus, Michael A Shay
We study the effects of plasma \b{eta} (ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure) on the evolution of kinetic plasma turbulence using fully kinetic particle-in-cell simulation…
MMS Observations of Beta-Dependent Constraints on Ion Temperature-Anisotropy in Earth's Magnetosheath
Bennett A. Maruca, A. Chasapis, S. P. Gary +15
Protons (ionized hydrogen) in the solar wind frequently exhibit distinct temperatures ( and ) perpendicular and parallel to the plasma's background ma…
The Reduction of Magnetic Reconnection Outflow Jets to Sub-Alfvénic Speeds
Colby C. Haggerty, Michael A. Shay, Alexandros Chasapis +5
The outflow velocity of jets produced by collisionless magnetic reconnection is shown to be reduced by the ion exhaust temperature in simulations and observations. We derive a scal…
