A possible source mechanism for magnetotail current sheet flapping [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2018
The origin of the flapping motions of the current sheet in the Earth's magnetotail is one of the most interesting questions of magnetospheric dynamics yet to be solved.

Characteristics of the flankmagnetopause: Cluster observations

, 2016
The magnetopause is a current sheet forming the boundary between the geomagnetic field on one side and the shocked solar wind on the other side. This paper discusses properties of the low-latitude dawn and dusk flanks of the magnetopause.

Richtmyer-Meshkov Type Instability of a Current Sheet in a Relativistically Magnetized Plasma

, 2012
Linear stability of a current sheet that is subject to an impulsive acceleration due to a shock passage is studied with the effect of guide magnetic field.

On the role of system size in Hall MHD magnetic reconnection

, 2017
We study the effects of the Hall electric field on magnetic island coalescence in the large island limit and find evidence for both a elongated electron current sheet layer with a Sweet-Parker-like reconnection rate and a collapsed, Petschek-like ...

Current-sheet formation in incompressible electron magnetohydrodynamics [PDF]

, 2001
The nonlinear dynamics of axisymmetric, as well as helical, frozen-in vortex structures is investigated by the Hamiltonian method in the framework of ideal incompressible electron magnetohydrodynamics.

Global properties of magnetotail current sheet flapping: THEMIS perspectives [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2009
A sequence of magnetic field oscillations with an amplitude of up to 30 nT and a time scale of 30 min was detected by four of the five THEMIS spacecraft in the magnetotail plasma sheet. The probes P1 and P2 were at X=−15.2 and −12.7 RE and

The Birth of A Coronal Mass Ejection

, 2019
The Sun's atmosphere is frequently disrupted by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), coupled with flares and energetic particles. In the standard picture, the coupling is explained by magnetic reconnection at a vertical current sheet connecting the flare loops

The Energetic Oxygen Ion Beams in the Martian Magnetotail Current Sheets: Hints From the Comparisons Between Two Types of Current Sheets

Geophysical Research Letters
Using data from the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) mission, we explore the plasma properties of Martian magnetotail current sheets (CS), to further understand the solar wind interaction with Mars and ion escape.

Evidence of guide field magnetic reconnection in flapping current sheets

Earth and Planetary Physics
Based on current sheet flapping motion on 27 August 2018 in the dusk flank magnetotail, as recorded by instruments aboard Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft, we present the first study of guide field reconnection observed in the flux rope ...
