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
Tail reconnection triggering substorm onset.
Vassilis Angelopoulos,James P. McFadden,Davin Larson,C. W. Carlson,Stephen B. Mende,Harald U. Frey,Tai Phan,David G. Sibeck,Karl-Heinz Glassmeier,Uli Auster,Eric Donovan,Ian R. Mann,I. Jonathan Rae,Christopher T. Russell,Andrei Runov,Xu-Zhi Zhou,Larry Kepko +16 more
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that substorms are likely initiated by tail reconnection, and are reported on simultaneous measurements in the magnetotail at multiple distances, at the time of substorm onset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transport of solar wind into Earth's magnetosphere through rolled-up Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices
H. Hasegawa,Masaki Fujimoto,Tai Phan,H. Rème,André Balogh,Malcolm Dunlop,C. Hashimoto,R. TanDokoro +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that during northward solar-wind magnetic field conditions—in the absence of active reconnection at low latitudes—there is aSolar-wind transport mechanism associated with the nonlinear phase of the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability that can supply plasma sources for various space weather phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: For example, NASA's magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) mission has found direct evidence for electron demagnetization and acceleration at sites along the sunward boundary of Earth's magnetosphere where the interplanetary magnetic field reconnects with the terrestrial magnetic field as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
In situ detection of collisionless reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail
TL;DR: The serendipitous encounter of the Wind spacecraft with an active reconnection diffusion region is reported, in which are detected key processes predicted by models of collisionless reconnection in the magnetotail.
