Short wavelength electrostatic wave measurement using MMS spacecraft
Ahmad Lalti, Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Daniel B. Graham
Determination of the wave mode of short-wavelength electrostatic waves along with their generation mechanism requires reliable measurement of the wave electric field. We investigat…
Mirror mode storms observed by Solar Orbiter
A. P. Dimmock, E. Yordanova, D. B. Graham +8
Mirror modes are ubiquitous in space plasma and grow from pressure anisotropy. Together with other instabilities, they play a fundamental role in constraining the free energy conta…
2D reconstruction of magnetotail electron diffusion region measured by MMS
J. M. Schroeder, J. Egedal, G. Cozzani +4
Models for collisionless magnetic reconnection in near-Earth space are distinctly characterized as 2D or 3D. In 2D kinetic models, the frozen-in law for the electron fluid is usual…
Are Dipolarization Fronts a Typical Feature of Magnetotail Plasma Jets Fronts?
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B Graham +1
Plasma jets are ubiquitous in the Earth's magnetotail. Plasma jet fronts (JFs) are the seat of particle acceleration and energy conversion. JFs are commonly associated with dipolar…
A database of MMS bow shock crossings compiled using machine learning
A. Lalti, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, A. P. Dimmock +3
Identifying collisionless shock crossings in data sent from spacecraft has so far been done manually. It is a tedious job that shock physicists have to go through if they want to c…
Ion Acceleration at Magnetotail Plasma Jets
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B Graham +6
We investigate a series of Earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in Earth's magnetotail at (-24, 7, 4) RE in Geocentric Sola…
Kinetic-scale current sheets in near-Sun solar wind: properties, scale-dependent features and reconnection onset
A. Lotekar, I. Y. Vasko, T. Phan +6
We present statistical analysis of 11,200 proton kinetic-scale current sheets (CS) observed by Parker Solar Probe during 10 days around the first perihelion. The CS thickness i…
