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…
Relativistic Electron Acceleration and the 'Ankle' Spectral Feature in Earth's Magnetotail Reconnection
Weijie Sun, Mitsuo Oka, Marit Øieroset +14
Electrons are accelerated to high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release events in space, such as magnetic reconnection. However, the properties and acceleration mec…
Interaction of the Prominence Plasma within the Magnetic Cloud of an ICME with the Earth's Bow Shock
Hadi Madanian, Li-Jen Chen, Jonathan Ng +5
The magnetic cloud within an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) is characterized by high magnetic field intensities. In this study, we investigate the interaction of a mag…
Earth's Alfvén Wings: Unveiling Dynamic Variations of Field-line Topologies with Electron Distributions
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +6
The magnetic cloud (MC) of the Coronal Mass Ejection on April 24, 2023, contains sub-Alfvénic solar wind, transforming Earth's magnetosphere from conventional bow-shock magnetotail…
Outstanding questions and future research of magnetic reconnection
R. Nakamura, J. L. Burch, J. Birn +22
This short article highlights the unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. The advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations enabled scientists to…
Out-of-plane Parallel Current in the Diffusion Regions: The Interaction Between Diffusion Region Systems and their Impact on the Outer EDR
Jason M. H. Beedle, Daniel J. Gershman, Vadim M. Uritsky +5
Dayside magnetic reconnection allows for the transfer of the solar wind's energy into Earth's magnetosphere. This process takes place in electron diffusion regions (EDRs) embedded…
Statistical Analysis of High-frequency Whistler Waves at Earth's Bow Shock: Further Support for Stochastic Shock Drift Acceleration
Takanobu Amano, Miki Masuda, Mitsuo Oka +3
We statistically investigate high-frequency whistler waves (with frequencies higher than % of the local elect ron cyclotron frequency) at Earth's bow shock using Magnetos…
Turbulence properties and kinetic signatures of electron in Kelvin-Helmholtz waves during a geomagnetic storm
Harsha Gurram, Jason R. Shuster, Li-Jen Chen +5
We present a comprehensive study of Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft encounter with KHI during a geomagnetic storm, focusing on elucidating key turbulence properties and…
Field-Aligned Current Structures during the Terrestrial Magnetosphere's Transformation into Alfven Wings and Recovery
Jason M. H. Beedle, Li-Jen Chen, Jason R. Shuster +8
On April 24th, 2023, a CME event caused the solar wind to become sub-Alfvenic, leading to the development of an Alfven Wing configuration in the Earth's Magnetosphere. Alfven Wings…
