Jets downstream of collisionless shocks
The magnetosheath flow may take the form of large amplitude, yet spatially localized,
transient increases in dynamic pressure, known as “magnetosheath jets” or “plasmoids” …

Dipolarization fronts as a consequence of transient reconnection: In situ evidence
HS Fu, JB Cao, YV Khotyaintsev… - Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Dipolarization fronts (DFs) are frequently detected in the Earth's magnetotail from XGSM=−
30 RE to XGSM=− 7 RE. How these DFs are formed is still poorly understood. Three …

Occurrence rate of earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts
The occurrence rate of earthward‐propagating dipolarization fronts (DFs) is investigated in
this paper based on the 9 years (2001–2009) of Cluster 1 data. For the first time, we select …

Pitch angle distribution of suprathermal electrons behind dipolarization fronts: A statistical overview
We examine the pitch angle distribution (PAD) of suprathermal electrons (> 40 keV) inside
the flux pileup regions (FPRs) that are located behind the dipolarization fronts (DFs), in order …

Large‐amplitude electric fields associated with bursty bulk flow braking in the Earth's plasma sheet
We report observations of large‐amplitude (> 50 mV/m) electric fields primarily associated
with bursty bulk flow events. These electric fields reach~ 500 mV/m, which are some of the …
