Energy partitioning between thermal and non-thermal electrons and ions in magnetotail reconnection
Abhishek Rajhans, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +9
Magnetic reconnection is an explosive energy release event. It plays an important role in accelerating particles to high non-thermal energies. These particles often exhibit energy…
Scaling of Particle Heating in Shocks and Magnetic Reconnection
Mitsuo Oka, Tai D. Phan, Marit Øieroset +4
Particles are heated efficiently through energy conversion processes such as shocks and magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma environments. While empirical scaling laws for…
Atomic and Molecular Nitrogen Ions at the Dayside Magnetopause During the 2024 Mother's Day Storm
R. G. Gomez, S. A. Fuselier, S. K. Vines +3
Ion measurements made with the Hot Plasma Composition Analyzers of the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission (MMS-HPCAs) during the Mother's Day Storm (Gannon Storm) of 10-13 May 2024…
Spontaneously generated flux ropes in 3-D magnetic reconnection
Shi-Chen Bai, Ruilong Guo, Yuchen Xiao +14
Magnetic reconnection is the key to explosive phenomena in the universe. The flux rope is crucial in three-dimensional magnetic reconnection theory and are commonly considered to b…
Relativistic Electron Acceleration and the 'Ankle' Spectral Feature in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Weijie Sun, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +14
Electrons are accelerated to high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release events in space, such as magnetic reconnection. However, the properties and acceleration mec…
Observation of Chaotic fluctuations in Turbulent Plasma
Riddi Bandyopadhyay, Nicolas V. Sarlis, James M. Weygand +3
Turbulence is a prevalent phenomenon in space and astrophysical plasmas, often characterized by stochastic fluctuations. While laboratory experiments and numerical simulations have…
