Electron Acceleration and Thermalization at Magnetotail Separatrices
Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Hesse, Michael; Graham, Daniel B.; Khotyaintsev, Yuri V.; Tenfjord, Paul; Vaivads, Andris; Steinvall, Konrad; Xu, Yin; Gershman, Daniel J; Lindqvist, Per-Arne; Plaschke, Ferdinand; Burch, James L (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this study we use the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission to investigate the electron acceleration and thermalization occurring along the magnetic reconnection separatrices in the magnetotail. We find that initially cold ... -
On the Presence and Thermalization of Cold Ions in the Exhaust of Antiparallel Symmetric Reconnection
Norgren, Astrid Elisabet Cecilia; Tenfjord, Paul Arne Riksheim; Hesse, Michael; Toledo-Redondo, Sergio; Li, Wenya; Xu, Yin; Kwagala, Norah Kaggwa; Spinnangr, Susanne Flø; Kolstø, Håkon Midthun; Moretto, Therese (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Using fully kinetic 2.5 dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of anti-parallel symmetric magnetic reconnection, we investigate how initially cold ions are captured by the reconnection process, and how they evolve and ...
