Observational evidence of magnetic reconnection in the terrestrial bow shock transition region
Shan Wang, Li-Jen Chen, Naoki Bessho +7
We report evidence of magnetic reconnection in the transition region of the terrestrial bow shock when the angle between the shock normal and the immediate upstream magnetic field…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
Solar wind interaction with comet 67P: impacts of corotating interaction regions
Niklas J. T. Edberg, A. I. Eriksson, E. Odelstad +18
We present observations from the Rosetta Plasma Consortium of the effects of stormy solar wind on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Four corotating interaction regions (CIRs), where…
CME impact on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko
Niklas J. T. Edberg, M. Alho, M. André +22
We present Rosetta observations from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko during the impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME). The CME impacted on 5-6 Oct 2015, when Rosetta was about 80…
How accurately can we measure the reconnection rate for the MMS diffusion region event of 2017-07-11?
Kevin J. Genestreti, Takuma Nakamura, Rumi Nakamura +8
We investigate the accuracy with which the reconnection electric field can be determined from in-situ plasma data. We study the magnetotail electron diffusion region observed…
A nearly continuous observation of the equatorial plasmasphere from the inner radiation belt to near a magnetopause reconnection site
Kevin J. Genestreti, Stephen A. Fuselier, John C. Foster +4
On 22 October 2015, VAP and MMS obtained near-continuous observations of the full radial extent of the duskside equatorial plasmasphere and plume. The plume is evident in in situ p…
