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…
Assessing the time dependence of reconnection with Poynting's theorem: MMS observations
Kevin J. Genestreti, Paul A. Cassak, Ali Varsani +3
We investigate the time dependence of electromagnetic-field-to-plasma energy conversion in the electron diffusion region of asymmetric magnetic reconnection. To do so, we consider…
Magnetospheric Multiscale Dayside Reconnection Electron Diffusion Region Events
J. M. Webster, J. L. Burch, P. H. Reiff +21
We have used the high-resolution data of the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission dayside phase to identify twenty-one previously unreported encounters with the electron diffusi…
Localized Oscillatory Dissipation in Magnetopause Reconnection
J. L. Burch, R. E. Ergun, P. A. Cassak +26
Data from the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are used to investigate asymmetric magnetic reconnection at the dayside boundary between the Earth's magnetosphere and th…
On the collisionless asymmetric magnetic reconnection rate
Yi-Hsin Liu, M. Hesse, P. A. Cassak +3
A prediction of the steady-state reconnection electric field in asymmetric reconnection is obtained by maximizing the reconnection rate as a function of the opening angle made by t…
MMS observation of asymmetric reconnection supported by 3-D electron pressure divergence
Kevin J. Genestreti, Ali Varsani, Jim L. Burch +20
We identify a dayside electron diffusion region (EDR) encountered by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and estimate the terms in generalized Ohm's law that controlled ene…
