Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Non-Maxwellianity of electron distributions near Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, M. André +6
Plasmas in Earth's outer magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind are essentially collisionless. This means particle distributions are not typically in thermodynamic equilibriu…
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…
Estimation of the electron density from spacecraft potential during high frequency electric field fluctuations
O. W. Roberts, R. Nakamura, K. Torkar +10
Spacecraft potential has often been used to infer electron density with much higher time resolution than is typically possible with plasma instruments. However, recently two studie…
Challenges and the next transformative steps in understanding plasma turbulence from the perspective of multi-spacecraft measurements
Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho, Jay A. Bookbinder +18
We have become heavily reliant on electrical technologies, from power grids to GPS to wireless communication. Any disruption of these systems will have severe global consequences.…
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…
