<p>Magnetic reconnection leads to fast streaming of electrons and ions away from the reconnection site. We have used an implicit particle-in-cell simulation (iPic3D) embedded within a global MHD simulation of the solar wind and magnetosphere interaction to investigate the evolution of electrons and ion flows in the magnetotail ...

Abstract There is evidence of a strong influence of an atmospheric (cometary) interaction on the Martian tail formation: small total magnetic flux in the tail, the existence of plasma flow of apparently planetary origin, interplanetary magnetic field control of magnetic field orientation in the tail and other evidence.

Advances in Space Research, 1986
The current understanding of the plasma, magnetic field, and plasma wave characteristics of the near and distant Jovian magnetotail is discussed. The properties of these two regions are compared, with particular emphasis given to the data on the distant tail obtained by Voyager 2.

Particle chaos in the Earth’s magnetotail
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 1992Nonlinear particle dynamics is studied both in current sheets and near neutral lines. The parameter governing particle chaos in a current sheet with a constant normal component, Bn, is κ=(Rmin/ρmax)1/2, where Rmin is the minimum field line radius of curvature and ρmax is the maximum gyroradius.

Energetic Particles in the Jovian Magnetotail
Science, 2007When the solar wind hits Jupiter's magnetic field, it creates a long magnetotail trailing behind the planet that channels material out of the Jupiter system. The New Horizons spacecraft traversed the length of the jovian magnetotail to >2500 jovian radii ( R J ; 1 R J

The response of the magnetotail to changes in the IMF orientation: The magnetotail's long memory
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Part C: Solar, Terrestrial & Planetary Science, 1999Abstract We have used a three dimensional global magnetohydrodynamic simulation of the interaction between the solar wind and the magnetosphere to investigate the changes which occur in the magnetotail when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) changes orientation.

Reconnection in the magnetotail
Space Science Reviews, 1979The ion tearing mode is considered as the only mechanism capable of initiating reconnection processes in the equilibrium plasma sheet whose scale considerably exceeds the ion Larmor radius. The paper gives a brief review of linear theory of the tearing mode instability that allows the onset of its development to be determined.

Macroinstabilities of the Magnetotail
1979There is evidence supporting the view that substorms are initiated by an instability. The present paper starts out from the assumption that the unstable process is an instability of the magnetotail. The stability theory of the tail is summarized and the major predictions are described. It is argued that the spontaneous reconnection (tearing) picture is

Helicon waves in the magnetotail
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2009The helicon modes are studied in Earth's magnetotail using the Harris sheet as a model of its equilibrium. The plasma sheet is divided into two regions: In region 1 both the electrons and the ions are treated as magnetized, whereas in region 2 the electrons are treated as magnetized but the ions are unmagnetized.

Magnetotail energy storage and the variability of the magnetotail current sheet
1984The antiparallel field configuration in the earth magnetotail is a prime location to search for the important astrophysical process known as magnetic reconnection. The magnetic evidence that reconnection occurs in the earth's magnetotail is that the energy of the tail invariably decreases at the time of global substorm onsets, and that an increased ...
