Ion distribution functions in magnetotail reconnection: global hybrid-Vlasov simulation results [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2021 We present results of noon–midnight meridional plane global hybrid-Vlasov simulations of the magnetotail ion dynamics under a steady southward interplanetary magnetic field using the Vlasiator model.

Geophysical Research Letters, 1984 ISEE‐3 magnetometer observations are presented that are consistant with flux ropes within the magnetotail. Three instances have been found. The flux ropes are identified by a strong magnetic field in their core, a bipolar magnetic field signature, and a double peaked field signature indicative of an off‐center crossing.

Near-Earth magnetotail reconnection powers space storms [PDF]
Nature Physics, 2020 Space storms1 are the dominant contributor to space weather. During storms, rearrangement of the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field lines at the dayside enhances global plasma circulation in the magnetosphere2,3. As this circulation proceeds, energy is dissipated into heat in the ionosphere and near-Earth space.

Quasi-separatrix layers induced by ballooning instability in the near-Earth magnetotail [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2019 Magnetic reconnection processes in the near-Earth magnetotail can be highly three-dimensional (3-D) in geometry and dynamics, even though the magnetotail configuration itself is nearly two-dimensional due to the symmetry in the dusk–dawn direction.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesThe Disturbance Storm Time (Dst) index serves as a critical indicator for quantifying geomagnetic storm intensity; however, the precise contribution of magnetotail currents to its formation remains inadequately characterized.

Unrestricted Solar Energetic Particle Access to the Moon While Within the Terrestrial Magnetotail
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 This study presents observations of Solar Energetic Particle (SEP) protons that have penetrated Earth's magnetotail to reach the lunar environment. We apply data from Wind as an upstream monitor and compare to observations from THEMIS‐ARTEMIS within the ...

Machine Learning Applications to Kronian Magnetospheric Reconnection Classification
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 The products of magnetic reconnection in Saturn’s magnetotail are identified in magnetometer observations primarily through characteristic deviations in the north–south component of the magnetic field.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulent flows are found in the solar wind, the magnetosheath and the magnetotail plasma sheet. In this paper, we review both observational and theoretical evidence for turbulent flow in the magnetotail.
