Electron Bulk Heating at Saturn's Magnetopause [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020
Abstract Magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause (MP) energizes ambient plasma via the release of magnetic energy and produces an “open” magnetosphere allowing solar wind particles to directly enter the system. At Saturn, the nature of MP reconnection remains unclear.

A generalization of the minimum variance analysis method [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 1996
In order to determine the normal direction of the magnetopause, the minimum variance analysis technique is frequently used: it is applied to the magnetic field data of a magnetopause crossing observed by a satellite, and provides the direction along ...

Modeling magnetopause location for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt codes: Salammbô model implementation [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
We present a new semi-analytical magnetopause location model specifically designed for 4D drift-resolved radiation belt modeling codes. We specifically designed this magnetopause location model for the 4D version of Salammbô, but it can be adaptable to ...

Cluster and MMS Simultaneous Observations of Magnetosheath High Speed Jets and Their Impact on the Magnetopause

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
When the supersonic solar wind encounters the Earth's magnetosphere a shock, called bow shock, is formed and the plasma is decelerated and thermalized in the magnetosheath downstream from the shock. Sometimes, however, due to discontinuities in the solar

Characteristics of the Flank Magnetopause: MMS Results

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020
We have used a large number of magnetopause crossings by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to investigate macroscopic properties of this current sheet, with emphasis on the flanks of the magnetopause.

The magnetopause shape and location: a comparison of the Interball and Geotail observations with models [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2002
A number of magnetopause models have been developed in the course of last three decades. We have chosen seven of them and tested them using a fresh set of magnetopause crossings observed by Interball-1, Magion-4, and Geotail satellites.

Characteristics of the Flank Magnetopause: THEMIS Observations [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research - Space Physics, 2019
The terrestrial magnetopause is the boundary that shields the Earth's magnetosphere on one side from the shocked solar wind and its embedded interplanetary magnetic field on the other side. In this paper, we show observations from two of the Time History

Statistical survey of day-side magnetospheric current flow using Cluster observations: magnetopause [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2017
We present a statistical survey of current structures observed by the Cluster spacecraft at high-latitude day-side magnetopause encounters in the close vicinity of the polar cusps.

Magnetopause transects

Geophysical Research Letters, 1996
A novel method is described for reconstruction of two‐dimensional current‐layer structures from measurements taken by a single spacecraft traversing the layer. In its present form, the method is applicable only to 2D magneto‐hydrostatic structures that are passively convected past the observing spacecraft. It is tested on a magnetopause crossing of the

Magnetopause Reconnection as Influenced by the Dipole Tilt Under Southward IMF Conditions: Hybrid Simulation and MMS Observation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2020
Using a three‐dimensional (3‐D) global‐scale hybrid code, the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) reconnection event around 02:13 UT on 18 November 2015, highlighted in the Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) Dayside Kinetic Challenge, is simulated, in which
