The Dynamics of a High Mach Number Quasi-Perpendicular Shock: MMS Observations

H. Madanian, M. I. Desai, S. J. Schwartz +12

Shock parameters at Earth's bow shock in rare instances can approach the Mach numbers predicted at supernova remnants. We present our analysis of a high Alfvén Mach number ($M_A= 2…

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…

Estimation of the electron density from spacecraft potential during high frequency electric field fluctuations

O. W. Roberts, R. Nakamura, K. Torkar +10

Spacecraft potential has often been used to infer electron density with much higher time resolution than is typically possible with plasma instruments. However, recently two studie…

Direct Measurement of the Solar-Wind Taylor Microscale using MMS Turbulence Campaign Data

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, William H. Matthaeus, Alexandros Chasapis +7

Using the novel Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission data accumulated during the 2019 MMS Solar Wind Turbulence Campaign, we calculate the Taylor microscale o…

Interplay of Turbulence and Proton-Microinstability Growth in Space Plasmas

Riddhi Bandyopadhyay, Ramiz A. Qudsi, William H. Matthaeus +13

Numerous prior studies have shown that as proton beta increases, a narrower range of proton temperature anisotropy values is observed. This effect has often been ascribed to the ac…

Automatic Region Identification over the MMS Orbit by Partitioning n-T space

D. da Silva, A. Barrie, J. Shuster +4

Space plasma data analysis and mission operations are aided by the categorization of plasma data between different regions of the magnetosphere and identification of the boundary r…
