Prolonged Intervals of Relativistic Electron Storm‐Time Flux Enhancements in the Magnetotail at Lunar Distance

Geophysical Research Letters
We report on prolonged enhancements of electron fluxes at energies at or above 500 keV, observed in the magnetotail by the lunar‐orbiting Acceleration, Reconnection, Turbulence, and Electrodynamics of Moon's Interaction with the Sun (ARTEMIS) during the ...

Spectral Properties and Energy Injection in Mercury's Magnetotail Current Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters
Mercury's magnetotail hosts a thin and highly dynamic current sheet (CS), where magnetic reconnection and strong fluctuations frequently occur. Here, we statistically analyze magnetic field power spectra across 370 magnetotail CSs observed by MESSENGER ...

Electron Dynamics in the Magnetotail

, 2001
The goal of this research has been to study the effects of electrons on magnetotail dynamics and current sheet structure. The approach is to follow ion trajectories in a global model of the magnetotail, use a Boltzmann approximation to include electrons,

Ionospheric control of magnetotail reconnection

, 2014
Observed distributions of high-speed plasma flows at distances of 10 to 30 Earth radii (R E ) in Earth's magnetotail neutral sheet are highly skewed toward the premidnight sector. The flows are a product of the magnetic reconnection process that converts

Joint Observations of Energy Transport and Dissipation during Plasma Flow Vortex in the Terrestrial Magnetotail

The Astrophysical Journal
Plasma flow vorticity is ubiquitous in space and plays a key role in material mixing and energy transfer. The five THEMIS satellites orbiting in different regions of the terrestrial magnetotail provide an unprecedented opportunity to study the temporal ...

Duskward displacement of plasmoids and reconnection in the near-Earth magnetotail

Earth, Planets and Space
Magnetic reconnection in the near-Earth magnetotail is responsible for explosive release of energy during substorms and auroral breakups. This near-tail reconnection was previously assumed to occur around the midnight meridian, where earthward flows were

Cold Ion Energization by Secondary Magnetic Reconnection in a Turbulent Reconnection Jet During Storm Period

Geophysical Research Letters
During geomagnetic storms, cold ions from the ionosphere substantially contribute to the plasma sheet population, which may significantly impact magnetotail energy conversion and transport. However, the energization of cold ions in the magnetotail during

Magnetic Reconnection as a Potential Trigger for Magnetotail Flapping at Mars: Insights From MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 Observations

AGU Advances
Magnetotail current sheet (CS) flapping is a universal plasma phenomenon observed at multiple planets, yet its triggering mechanisms remain poorly understood outside of Earth.
