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…
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…
Identification of coupled Landau and anomalous resonances in space plasmas
Jing-Huan Li, Xu-Zhi Zhou, Zhi-Yang Liu +10
Wave-particle resonance, a ubiquitous process in the plasma universe, occurs when resonant particles observe a constant wave phase to enable sustained energy transfer. Here, we pre…
Observation of Inertial-range Energy Cascade within a Reconnection Jet in Earth's Magnetotail
Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Alexandros Chasapis, D. J. Gershman +6
Earth's magnetotail region provides a unique environment to study plasma turbulence. We investigate the turbulence developed in an exhaust produced by magnetic reconnection at the…
Multi-scale coupling during magnetopause reconnection: the interface between the electron and ion diffusion regions
K. J. Genestreti, Y. -H. Liu, T. -D. Phan +15
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) encountered the primary low-latitude magnetopause reconnection site when the inter-spacecraft separation exceeded the upstream ion inertial length.…
Evolution of the Earth's Magnetosheath Turbulence: A statistical study based on MMS observations
Hui Li, Wence Jiang, Chi Wang +5
Composed of shocked solar wind, the Earth's magnetosheath serves as a natural laboratory to study the transition of turbulence from low Alfv{é}n Mach number, , to hig…
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…
