TL;DR: The Cluster Ion Spectrometry (CIS) experiment as discussed by the authors measured the full, three-dimensional ion distribution of the major magnetospheric ions (H+, He+, He++, and O+) from the thermal energies to about 40 keV/e.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for magnetic field reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause
Bengt U. Ö. Sonnerup,Götz Paschmann,I. Papamastorakis,N. Sckopke,Gerhard Haerendel,S. J. Bame,J. R. Asbridge,J. T. Gosling,Christopher T. Russell +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, 11 passes of the ISEE satellites through the frontside terrestrial magnetopause were identified, where the plasma velocity in the magnetic field and boundary layer was substantially larger than in the magnetosheath, with a view to determining whether the velocity enhancements can be explained by magnetic field reconnection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma acceleration at the earth's magnetopause - Evidence for reconnection
Götz Paschmann,I. Papamastorakis,N. Sckopke,Gerhard Haerendel,B. U. Oe. Sonnerup,S. J. Bame,J. R. Asbridge,J. T. Gosling,C. T. Russel,R. C. Elphic +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-speed plasma at the magnetopause in agreement with theoretical predictions of magnetic field reconnection is reported, and the observations agree with the predictions of the reconnection model of the dayside magnetopsause, in which the magnetic field is described as a rotational discontinuity, or a large-amplitude Alfven wave.
Journal ArticleDOI
The magnetopause for large magnetic shear: AMPTE/IRM observations
G. Paschmann,I. Papamastorakis,Wolfgang Baumjohann,N. Sckopke,C. W. Carlson,Bengt U. Ö. Sonnerup,H. Lühr +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the improved accuracy and time resolution of the IRM plasma measurements to reexamine the occurrence of high-speed flows as signatures of the reconnection process at the magnetopause.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma and magnetic field characteristics of magnetic flux transfer events
Götz Paschmann,Gerhard Haerendel,I. Papamastorakis,N. Sckopke,S. J. Bame,J. T. Gosling,Christopher T. Russell +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the moments of the distribution function were calculated from two-dimensional or three-dimensional data for five passes of the magnetopause region at 20 and 40 deg northern latitudes, and the different observed magnetic field signatures were consistent with expectations for encounters of the flux tubes at different relative locations.
