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. (…
Magnetospheric Multiscale Observation of Kinetic Signatures in the Alfvén Vortex
Tieyan Wang, Olga Alexandrova, Denise Perrone +9
Alfvén vortex is a multi-scale nonlinear structure which contributes to intermittency of turbulence. Despite previous explorations mostly on the spatial properties of the Alfvén vo…
Kinetic range spectral features of cross-helicity using MMS
Tulasi N. Parashar, Alexandros Chasapis, Riddhi Bandyopadhyay +13
We study spectral features of ion velocity and magnetic field correlations in the solar wind and in the magnetosheath using data from the Magnetospheric Multi-Scale (MMS) spacecraf…
