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…
Particle acceleration by magnetic reconnection in geospace
Mitsuo Oka, Joachim Birn, Jan Egedal +7
Particles are accelerated to very high, non-thermal energies during explosive energy-release phenomena in space, solar, and astrophysical plasma environments. While it has been est…
Ion Acceleration at Magnetotail Plasma Jets
L. Richard, Yu. V. Khotyaintsev, D. B Graham +6
We investigate a series of Earthward bursty bulk flows (BBFs) observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in Earth's magnetotail at (-24, 7, 4) RE in Geocentric Sola…
Local acceleration of protons to 100 keV in a quasi-parallel bow shock
Krzysztof Stasiewicz, Bengt Eliasson, Ian J. Cohen +2
Recent observations in the quasi-parallel bow shock by the MMS spacecraft show rapid heating and acceleration of ions up to an energy of about 100 keV. It is demonstrated that a pr…
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…
Electron-Scale Dynamics of the Diffusion Region during Symmetric Magnetic Reconnection in Space
R. B. Torbert, J. L. Burch, T. D. Phan +46
Magnetic reconnection is an energy conversion process important in many astrophysical contexts including the Earth's magnetosphere, where the process can be investigated in-situ. H…
