      Burch, James L.; Webster, James M.; Hesse, Michael; Genestreti, Kevin J.; Denton, Richard E.; Phan, Tai D.; Hasegawa, Hiroshi; Cassak, Paul A.; Torbert, Roy B.; Giles, Barbara L.; Gershman, Daniel J.; Ergun, Robert E.; Russell, Christopher T.; Strangeway, Robert J.; Le Contel, Olivier; Pritchard, Kris R.; Marshall, Andrew T.; Hwang, Kyoung-Joo; Dokgo, Kyunghwan; Fuselier, Stephen A.; Chen, Li-Jen; Wang, Shan; Swisdak, Marc; Drake, James F.; Argall, Matthew R.; Trattner, Karlheinz J.; Yamada, Masaaki; Paschmann, Götz (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Electron inflow and outflow velocities during magnetic reconnection at and near the dayside magnetopause are measured using satellites from NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission. A case study is examined in detail, ...
    • Observational Evidence of Magnetic Reconnection in the Terrestrial Bow Shock Transition Region 

      Wang, Shan; Chen, Li-Jen; Bessho, Naoki; Hesse, Michael; Wilson, Lynn B.; Giles, Barbara; Moore, Thomas E.; Russell, Christopher T.; Torbert, Roy B.; Burch, James L. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We report evidence of magnetic reconnection in the transition region of the Earth's bow shock when the angle between the shock normal and the immediate upstream magnetic field is 65°. An ion‐skin‐depth‐scale current sheet ...
