Reconnection in Earth's magnetotail

Science, 2018
Plasma Astrophysics Magnetic fields in plasmas can rapidly rearrange themselves in a process known as magnetic reconnection, which releases energy and accelerates particles. Torbert et al. used the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to probe a reconnection event in Earth's magnetotail—the region of plasma downstream from the planet as it moves ...

Modes of convection in the magnetotail

Physics of Plasmas, 2002
The flow of plasma in the Earth’s magnetotail cannot reach a steady state, since adiabatic convection would lead to exceedingly high pressure of the associated magnetic flux tubes closer to the Earth, the so-called pressure catastrophe. The natural way to avoid the pressure catastrophe is to significantly reduce the flux tube volume by reconnection ...

Collisionless reconnection in the magnetotail

Advances in Space Research, 1997
Abstract Recent developments regarding collisionless reconnection in current sheets with a finite normal magnetic field component (Bz) are reviewed. In 2-D x, z configurations the ion tearing mode is stabilized by the electron compressibility. When the y dependence is included, cross-field current instabilities can be excited.

Particle acceleration in the magnetotail

Advances in Space Research, 2002
Abstract Very prominent particle acceleration occurs during current disruption in the magnetotail. Although particle acceleration is frequently attributed to magnetic reconnection alone, particle heating and acceleration can equally well be associated with plasma instabilities which can be unrelated to magnetic reconnection.
