Energy Dissipation in Turbulent Reconnection
R. Bandyopadhyay, A. Chasapis, W. H. Matthaeus +6
We study the nature of pressure-strain interaction at reconnection sites, detected by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) Mission. We employ data from a series of published case…
A Systematic Look at the Temperature Gradient Contribution to the Dayside Magnetopause Current
Jason M. H. Beedle, David J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +2
Magnetopause diamagnetic currents arise from density and temperature driven pressure gradients across the boundary layer. While theoretically recognized, the temperature contributi…
Direct Multipoint Observations Capturing the Reformation of a Supercritical Fast Magnetosonic Shock
D. L. Turner, L. B. Wilson, K. A. Goodrich +12
Using multipoint Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) observations in an unusual string-of-pearls configuration, we examine in detail observations of the reformation of a fast magnetoso…
Non-Maxwellianity of electron distributions near Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, M. André +6
Plasmas in Earth's outer magnetosphere, magnetosheath, and solar wind are essentially collisionless. This means particle distributions are not typically in thermodynamic equilibriu…
