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…

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…

On the origin of the crescent-shaped distributions observed by MMS at the magnetopause

G. Lapenta, J. Berchem, M. Zhou +12

MMS observations recently confirmed that crescent-shaped electron velocity distributions in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field occur in the electron diffusion region nea…
