• 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 ...
    • MMS Measurements of the Vlasov Equation: Probing the Electron Pressure Divergence Within Thin Current Sheets 

      Shuster, JR; Gershman, Daniel J; Chen, LJ; Wang, S; Bessho, Naoki; Dorelli, John C; da Silva, DE; Giles, Barbara L; Paterson, William R.; Denton, Richard E; Schwartz, S. J.; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Wilder, F.D.; Cassak, P.A.; Swisdak, M; Uritsky, Vadim; Schiff, C.; Rager, AC; Smith, S; Avanov, LA; Vinas, AF (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We investigate the kinetic structure of electron‐scale current sheets found in the vicinity of the magnetopause and embedded in the magnetosheath within the reconnection exhaust. A new technique for computing terms of the ...
