MMS SITL Ground Loop: Automating the burst data selection process

Matthew R. Argall, Colin Small, Samantha Piatt +13

Global-scale energy flow throughout Earth's magnetosphere (MSP) is catalyzed by processes that occur at Earth's magnetopause (MP). Magnetic reconnection is one process responsible…

Observational Evidence for Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration of Electrons at the Earth's Bow Shock

T. Amano, T. Katou, N. Kitamura +14

The first-order Fermi acceleration of electrons requires an injection of electrons into a mildly relativistic energy range. However, the mechanism of injection has remained a puzzl…

On the deviation from Maxwellian of the ion velocity distribution functions in the turbulent magnetosheath

Silvia Perri, D. Perrone, E. Yordanova +20

The degree of deviation from the thermodynamic equilibrium in the ion velocity distribution functions (VDFs), measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission in the Earth's…

Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in the Transition Region of Quasi-Parallel Shocks

I. Gingell, S. J. Schwartz, J. P. Eastwood +15

Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedd…

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…

Solar Wind Turbulence Studies using MMS Fast Plasma Investigation Data

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, A. Chasapis, R. Chhiber +17

Studies of solar wind turbulence traditionally employ high-resolution magnetic field data, but high-resolution measurements of ion and electron moments have been possible only rece…
