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 ... -
Universality of Lower Hybrid Waves at Earth's Magnetopause
Graham, D. B.; Khotyaintsev, Yu V; Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Vaivads, Andris; Andre, M.; Drake, J. F.; Egedal, J.; Zhou, M.; Le Contel, O; Webster, J.M.; Lavraud, B.; Kacem, Imed; Génot, V.; Jacquey, C.; Rager, AC; Gershman, Daniel J; Burch, J. L.; Ergun, Robert E (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Waves around the lower hybrid frequency are frequently observed at Earth's magnetopause and readily reach very large amplitudes. Determining the properties of lower hybrid waves is crucial because they are thought to ...
