Earth's Alfvén wings driven by the April 2023 Coronal Mass Ejection
Li-Jen Chen, Daniel Gershman, Brandon Burkholder +33
We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub-Alfvénic solar wind in which the windsock-like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the mag…
Applying Magnetic Curvature to to MMS data to identify thin current sheets relative to tail reconnection
A. J. Rogers, C. J. Farrugia, R. B. Torbert +1
Magnetic reconnection X-lines have been observed to be more common duskward of midnight. Thin current sheets have also been postulated to be a necessary precondition for reconnecti…
Intermittency and Ion Temperature-Anisotropy Instabilities: Simulation and Magnetosheath Observation
Ramiz A. Qudsi, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Bennett A. Maruca +11
Weakly collisional space plasmas are rarely in local thermal equilibrium and often exhibit non-Maxwellian electron and ion velocity distributions that lead to the growth of microin…
A New Method of 3D Magnetic Field Reconstruction
R. B. Torbert, I. Dors, M. R. Argall +6
A method is described to model the magnetic field in the vicinity of constellations of multiple satellites using field and plasma current measurements. This quadratic model has the…
Electron Heating by Debye-Scale Turbulence in Guide-Field Reconnection
Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham, K. Steinvall +14
We report electrostatic Debye-scale turbulence developing within the diffusion region of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection with moderate guide field using observations by the Ma…
Numerical Algorithm for Detecting Ion Diffusion Regions in the Geomagnetic Tail with Applications to MMS Tail Season May 1 -- September 30, 2017
A. J. Rogers, C. J. Farrugia, R. B. Torbert
We present a numerical algorithm aimed at identifying ion diffusion regions (IDRs) in the geomagnetic tail, and test its applicability. We use 5 criteria applied in three stages. (…
