Evolution and Impact of Switchbacks Throughout the Heliosphere
Alfred Mallet, Chen Shi, Anna Tenerani +23
Magnetic switchbacks are large-amplitude fluctuations in the interplanetary magnetic field, and appear frequently in the near-Sun solar wind explored recently by Parker Solar Probe…
Magnetic reconnection-driven energization of protons up to 400 keV at the near-Sun heliospheric current sheet
M. I. Desai, J. F. Drake, T. Phan +22
We report observations of direct evidence of energetic protons being accelerated above ~400 keV within the reconnection exhaust of a heliospheric current sheet (HCS) crossing by NA…
The Interplay Between Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection and Turbulence
J. E. Stawarz, P. A. Muñoz, N. Bessho +13
Alongside magnetic reconnection, turbulence is another fundamental nonlinear plasma phenomenon that plays a key role in energy transport and conversion in space and astrophysical p…
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…
Constraints on the Alfvénicity of Switchbacks
O. V. Agapitov, J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak +2
Switchbacks (SBs) are localized structures in the solar wind containing deflections of the magnetic field direction relative to the background solar wind magnetic field. The amplit…
Universality of lower hybrid waves at Earth's magnetopause
D. B. Graham, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, C. Norgren +15
Waves around the lower hybrid frequency are frequently observed at Earth's magnetopause, and readily reach very large amplitudes. Determining the properties of lower hybrid waves i…
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…
Asymmetric magnetic reconnection with a flow shear and applications to the magnetopause
C. E. Doss, C. M. Komar, P. A. Cassak +3
We perform a theoretical and numerical study of anti-parallel 2D magnetic reconnection with asymmetries in the density and reconnecting magnetic field strength in addition to a bul…
Electron Heating During Magnetic Reconnection: A Simulation Scaling Study
M. A. Shay, C. C. Haggerty, T. D. Phan +6
Electron bulk heating during magnetic reconnection with symmetric inflow conditions is examined using kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. The degree of electron heating is…
On the 3-D structure and dissipation of reconnection-driven flow-bursts
J. F. Drake, M. Swisdak, P. A. Cassak +1
The structure of magnetic reconnection-driven outflows and their dissipation are explored with large-scale, 3-D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Outflow jets resulting from 3-D…
Super-Alfvénic propagation of reconnection signatures and Poynting flux during substorms
M. A. Shay, J. F. Drake, J. P. Eastwood +1
The propagation of reconnection signatures and their associated energy are examined using kinetic particle-in-cell simulations and Cluster satellite observations. It is found that…
