A comparison of methods for finding magnetic nulls in simulations and in situ observations of space plasmas
Vyacheslav Olshevsky, David Pontin, Benjamin Williams +5
Magnetic nulls are ubiquitous in space plasmas, and are of interest as sites of localized energy dissipation or magnetic reconnection. As such, a number of methods have been propos…
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 Solar Orbiter Science Activity Plan: translating solar and heliospheric physics questions into action
I. Zouganelis, A. De Groof, A. P. Walsh +182
Solar Orbiter is the first space mission observing the solar plasma both in situ and remotely, from a close distance, in and out of the ecliptic. The ultimate goal is to understand…
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…
Sub-ion scale Compressive Turbulence in the Solar wind: MMS spacecraft potential observations
Owen Wyn Roberts, Rumi Nakamura, Klaus Torkar +9
Compressive plasma turbulence is investigated at sub-ion scales in the solar wind using both the Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) instrument on the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission…
MMS Observations of Whistler and Lower Hybrid Drift Waves Associated with Magnetic Reconnection in the Turbulent Magnetosheath
Vörös Zoltán, Emiliya Yordanova, Daniel B. Graham +2
Magnetic reconnection (MR) and the associated concurrently occurring waves have been extensively studied at large-scale plasma boundaries, in quasi-symmetric and asymmetric configu…
