A Study of Slow-mode Shocks in the Near-Earth Magnetotail with MMS Observations and Hybrid Simulations

The Astrophysical Journal
The structure of the magnetic reconnection boundary, particularly the presence of slow-mode shocks in the near-Earth magnetotail was studied by using magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) observations and 2.5D hybrid simulations. A total of 51 crossings of MMS

Turbulent Magnetic Reconnection as an Acceleration Mechanism in Earth’s Magnetotail

The Astrophysical Journal
Using electric and magnetic fields measured by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we construct a test-particle simulation of a turbulent magnetic reconnection region to investigate observed ion acceleration. We identify three types of energized

Observations of Electrostatic Solitary Waves in the Martian Magnetic Reconnection Exhaust Region

The Astrophysical Journal
This study reports for the first time the occurrence of electrostatic solitary waves during a reconnection exhaust event observed by NASA’s Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution mission on 2015 February 9 in the dayside Martian magnetosheath region.

Temperatures of Jupiter’s Upper Atmosphere: The Role of the Planetary Magnetic Field

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The primary source of heating in the upper atmospheres (thermospheres) of giant planets has been the subject of long debate. The conundrum (or “energy crisis”) consists in observed thermosphere temperatures at low and midlatitudes exceeding values ...

Solar Wind Control of the Martian Magnetotail Current Sheet and Magnetic Reconnection

The Astrophysical Journal
Magnetic reconnection is a rapid process that releases magnetic free energy stored in current sheets (CSs), driving various explosive phenomena throughout the Universe. In planets within the solar system, reconnection is controlled by both the solar wind
