Thick escaping magnetospheric ion layer in magnetopause reconnection with MMS observations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
The structure of asymmetric magnetopause reconnection is explored with multiple point and high‐time‐resolution ion velocity distribution observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission.

Kinetic evidence of magnetic reconnection due to Kelvin‐Helmholtz waves

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016
The Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability at the Earth's magnetopause is predominantly excited during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Magnetic reconnection due to KH waves has been suggested as one of the mechanisms to transfer solar wind ...

A case study of the plasma in the magneto-sheath using the numerical magnetosheath-magnetosphere model and THEMIS measure-ments

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
This paper presents a case study of the plasma parameters in the magnetosheath, based on THEMIS measurements. As a theoretical tool we apply the self-consistent magnetosheath-magnetosphere model.

Anisotropy of the Spectral Index in Ion Scale Compressible Turbulence: MMS Observations in the Magnetosheath

Frontiers in Physics, 2019
Turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath at ion kinetic scales is investigated with the Magnetospheric MultiScale (MMS) spacecraft. The multi-point measurements allow the three dimensional power spectra in wave-vector space to be determined.

Magnetic Field and Plasma Asymmetries Between the Martian Quasi‐Perpendicular and Quasi‐Parallel Magnetosheaths

Geophysical Research Letters
The Martian magnetosheath acts as a conduit for mass and energy transfer between the upstream solar wind and its induced magnetosphere. However, our understanding of its global properties remains limited. Using 9 years of data from NASA's Mars Atmosphere

Geoeffectiveness of Magnetosheath Jets

, 2019
In this report we present spacecraft and ground-based observations of magnetosheath jets impacting the magnetosphere, both as a case study and a statistical study. In the case study, jets were detected in the magnetosheath by the Magnetospheric MultiScale mission, MMS.

Slow Electron Holes in the Earth's Magnetosheath

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics
AbstractWe present a statistical analysis of electrostatic solitary waves observed aboard Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft in the Earth's magnetosheath. Applying single‐spacecraft interferometry to several hundred solitary waves collected in about 2‐minute interval, we show that almost all of them have the electrostatic potential of positive ...

Large‐Scale Magnetosheath Jets Formed by Shock‐Discontinuity Interactions: A Three‐Dimensional Global Hybrid Simulation

Geophysical Research Letters
Magnetosheath high‐speed jets with enhanced dynamic pressure are common in Earth's magnetosheath and can impinge on the magnetopause, driving pronounced boundary deformation.
