      Hwang, K.-J.; Dokgo, K.; Choi, E.; Burch, J.L.; Sibeck, D.G.; Giles, B.L.; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Nakamura, T.K.M.; Graham, D.B.; Khotyaintsev, Y.; Shi, Q.Q.; Gershman, D.J.; Pollock, C.J.; Ergun, R.E.; Torbert, R.B.; Russell, C.T.; Strangeway, R.J. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      On May 5, 2017 MMS observed a bifurcated current sheet at the boundary of Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices (KHVs) developed on the dawnside tailward magnetopause. We use the event to enhance our understanding of the formation and ...
    • Magnetic Reconnection in Three Dimensions: Modeling and Analysis of Electromagnetic Drift Waves in the Adjacent Current Sheet 

      Ergun, Robert E; Hoilijoki, Sanni; Ahmadi, N.; Schwartz, S.J.; Wilder, F.D.; Drake, James F.; Hesse, Michael; Shay, Michael A.; Ji, H.; Yamada, M; Graham, Daniel B.; Cassak, P.A.; Swisdak, M; Burch, J. L.; Torbert, R.B.; Holmes, JC; Stawarz, JE; Goodrich, Katherine A; Eriksson, S.; Strangeway, Robert J.; LeContel, O (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We present a model of electromagnetic drift waves in the current sheet adjacent to magnetic reconnection at the subsolar magnetopause. These drift waves are potentially important in governing 3‐D structure of subsolar ...
    • Results of the Electron Drift Instrument on Cluster 

      Paschmann, G; Quinn, Jack M.; Torbert, R.B.; McIllwain, C; Vaith, H; Haaland, S.; Matsui, Hiroshi; Kletzing, Craig A.; Baumjohann, W; Haerendel, G (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      The electron drift instrument (EDI) on Cluster pioneered a new method of measuring electric fields, using a beam of electrons to sample the drift velocity over a km-scale gyro orbit. The technique is especially well suited ...
