Ion Reflection by a Rippled Perpendicular Shock
Yuri V. Khotyaintsev, Daniel B. Graham, Andreas Johlander
We use multi-spacecraft Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations to investigate electric fields and ion reflection at a non-stationary collisionless perpendicular plasma shock.…
Ion Dynamics Across a Low Mach Number Bow Shock
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, A. P. Dimmock +4
A thorough understanding of collisionless shocks requires knowledge of how different ion species are accelerated across the shock. We investigate a bow shock crossing using the Mag…
Unveiling plasma energization and energy transport in the Earth Magnetospheric System: the need for future coordinated multiscale observations
A. Retino, L. Kepko, H. Kucharek +31
Energetic plasma is everywhere in the Universe. The terrestrial Magnetospheric System is a key case where direct measures of plasma energization and energy transport can be made in…
Particle acceleration by magnetic reconnection in geospace
Mitsuo Oka, Joachim Birn, Jan Egedal +7
Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release phenomena in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. While it has been est…
Advanced methods for analyzing in-situ observations of magnetic reconnection
H. Hasegawa, M. R. Argall, N. Aunai +33
There is ample evidence for magnetic reconnection in the solar system, but it is a nontrivial task to visualize, to determine the proper approaches and frames to study, and in turn…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
Turbulence in Magnetic Reconnection Jets from Injection to Sub-Ion Scales
L. Richard, L. Sorriso-Valvo, E. Yordanova +2
We investigate turbulence in magnetic reconnection jets in the Earth's magnetotail using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft. We show that signatures of a limited in…
Fast Ion Isotropization by Current Sheet Scattering in Magnetic Reconnection Jets
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +3
We present a statistical analysis of ion distributions in magnetic reconnection jets using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft. Compared with the quiet plasma in whi…
