Observational Evidence of Large‐Scale Multiple Reconnection at the Earth's Dayside Magnetopause

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2018
Magnetic flux ropes of various scale sizes have been observed at the Earth's magnetopause for four decades. These multiple structures resulting from reconnection have complex internal field and plasma signatures, and evolve as they propagate along the ...

Determining the Magnetopause Location With SMILE‐SXI Using a Constrained Solar Wind Independent SWCX Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The soft X‐ray imager (SXI) on the SMILE mission promises to revolutionize our understanding of the magnetopause by observing solar wind charge exchange emission from the magnetosheath on a global scale. The primary goal of this instrument is to infer the position and shape of the magnetopause from these images.

The Comprehensive Response of the Magnetopause to the Impact of an Isolated Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Geophysical Research Letters
The magnetopause is the boundary between the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. Magnetosheath high‐speed jets can impact the magnetopause, causing local indentation and subsequently rebound.

Energetic electron acceleration observed by MMS in the vicinity of an X‐line crossing

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
During the first months of observations, the Magnetospheric Multiscale Fly's Eye Energetic Particle Spectrometer instrument has observed several instances of electron acceleration up to >100 keV while in the vicinity of the dayside reconnection region ...
