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…
The case for studying other planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres in Heliophysics
Ian J. Cohen, Chris Arridge, Abigail Azari +37
Heliophysics is the field that "studies the nature of the Sun, and how it influences the very nature of space - and, in turn, the atmospheres of planetary bodies and the technology…
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…
Multi-point Assessment of the Kinematics of Shocks (MAKOS): A Heliophysics Mission Concept Study
Katherine A. Goodrich, Lynn B. Wilson, Steven Schwartz +6
Collisionless shocks are fundamental processes that are ubiquitous in space plasma physics throughout the Heliosphere and most astrophysical environments. Earth's bow shock and int…
The Persistent Mystery of Collisionless Shocks
Katherine Goodrich, Steven Schwartz, Lynn Wilson +14
Collisionless shock waves are one of the main forms of energy conversion in space plasmas. They can directly or indirectly drive other universal plasma processes such as magnetic r…
