Fast Plasma Investigation for Magnetospheric Multiscale

Craig J. Pollock, +106 more
TL;DR: The Fast Plasma Investigation (FPI) was developed for flight on the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission to measure the differential directional flux of magnetospheric electrons and ions with unprecedented time resolution to resolve kinetic-scale plasma dynamics as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and dynamics of magnetic reconnection for substorm onsets with Geotail observations

TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and dynamics of magnetic reconnection were studied in the premidnight sector of the magnetotail at 20-30 RE for substorm onsets in Geotail observations.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Low Energy Particle (LEP) Experiment onboard the GEOTAIL Satellite

TL;DR: The low energy particle (LEP) instrument onboard GEOTAIL is designed to make comprehensive observations of plasma and energetic electrons and ions with fine temporal resolution in the terrestrial magnetosphere (mainly magnetotail) and in the interplanetary medium as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geotail observations of the Hall current system: Evidence of magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail

TL;DR: In a two-fluid picture of magnetic reconnection, inflow electrons flow with the magnetic field line to the diffusion region, whereas inflow ions cannot reach the diffusion regions and rest around a distance of the ion inertial length as discussed by the authors.
