Multi-scale observation of magnetotail reconnection onset: 2. microscopic dynamics
K. J. Genestreti, C. Farrugia, S. Lu +23
We analyze the local dynamics of magnetotail reconnection onset using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data. In conjunction with MMS, the macroscopic dynamics of this event were cap…
Multi-scale observation of magnetotail reconnection onset: 1. macroscopic dynamics
K. J. Genestreti, C. Farrugia, S. Lu +22
We analyze a magnetotail reconnection onset event on 3 July 2017 that was observed under otherwise quiescent magnetospheric conditions by a fortuitous conjunction of six space and…
Differentiating EDRs from the Background Magnetopause Current Sheet: A Statistical Study
Jason M. H. Beedle, Daniel J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +2
The solar wind is a continuous outflow of charged particles from the Sun's atmosphere into the solar system. At Earth, the solar wind's outward pressure is balanced by the Earth's…
Three-dimensional energy transfer in space plasma turbulence from multipoint measurement
Francesco Pecora, Sergio Servidio, Yan Yang +6
A novel multispacecraft technique applied to Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission data collected in the Earth's magnetosheath enables evaluation of the energy cascade rate solvi…
Relaxation of the turbulent magnetosheath
Francesco Pecora, Yan Yang, Alexandros Chasapis +9
In turbulence, nonlinear terms drive energy transfer from large-scale eddies into small scales through the so-called energy cascade. Turbulence often relaxes toward states that min…
Fast Ion Isotropization by Current Sheet Scattering in Magnetic Reconnection Jets
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B. Graham +3
We present a statistical analysis of ion distributions in magnetic reconnection jets using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft. Compared with the quiet plasma in whi…
