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…
Whistler Waves in the foot of Quasi-Perpendicular Super-Critical Shocks
Ahmad Lalti, Yuri Khotyaintsev, Daniel B. Graham +3
Whistler waves are thought to play an essential role in the dynamics of collisionless shocks. We use the magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) spacecraft to study whistler waves around t…
The boulder population of asteroid 4 Vesta: Size-frequency distribution and survival time
Stefan E. Schröder, Uri Carsenty, Ernst Hauber +3
Dawn's framing camera observed boulders on the surface of Vesta when the spacecraft was in its lowest orbit (LAMO). We identified, measured, and mapped boulders in LAMO images, whi…
Direct Measurement of the Solar-Wind Taylor Microscale using MMS Turbulence Campaign Data
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, William H. Matthaeus, Alexandros Chasapis +7
Using the novel Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission data accumulated during the 2019 MMS Solar Wind Turbulence Campaign, we calculate the Taylor microscale o…
Interplay of Turbulence and Proton-Microinstability Growth in Space Plasmas
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Ramiz A. Qudsi, William H. Matthaeus +13
Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the ac…
