Plasmoids in Reconnecting Current Sheets: Solar and Terrestrial Contexts Compared

open access: yes, 2008
Magnetic reconnection plays a crucial role in violent energy conversion occurring in the environments of high electrical conductivity, such as the solar atmosphere, magnetosphere, and fusion devices.

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

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...

Steepening of waves at the duskside magnetopause

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2016
Surface waves at the magnetopause flanks typically feature steeper, i.e., more inclined leading (antisunward facing) than trailing (sunward facing) edges. This is expected for Kelvin‐Helmholtz instability (KHI) amplified waves.

On the Collisionless Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection Rate

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
A prediction of the steady state reconnection electric field in asymmetric reconnection is obtained by maximizing the reconnection rate as a function of the opening angle made by the upstream magnetic field on the weak magnetic field (magnetosheath) side.

Estimating the subsolar magnetopause position from soft X-ray images using a low-pass image filter

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics
The Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) and Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) missions will image the Earth’s dayside magnetopause and cusps in soft X-rays after their respective launches in the near future, to ...

Anomalous aspects of magnetosheath flow and of the shape and oscillations of the magnetopause during an interval of strongly northward interplanetary magnetic field [PDF]

open access: yes
On 15 Feb. 1978, the orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) remained steadily northward for more than 12 hours. The ISEE 1 and 2 spacecraft were located near apogee on the dawn side flank of the magnetotail. IMP 8 was almost symmetrically
