Abstract Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS), a NASA four-spacecraft constellation mission
launched on March 12, 2015, will investigate magnetic reconnection in the boundary …

INTRODUCTION Magnetic reconnection is a physical process occurring in plasmas in which
magnetic energy is explosively converted into heat and kinetic energy. The effects of …

A method is investigated to use secondary electrons to touchlessly sense the electrostatic
potential of an object in geosynchronous orbit or deep space. This method involves a …

Abstract The Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft encountered an electron diffusion region
(EDR) in a symmetric reconnection in the Earth's magnetotail. The EDR contained a guide …

Electron losses from the outer radiation belt are typically attributed to resonant electron
scattering by whistler‐mode waves. Although the quasi‐linear diffusive regime of such …

The first-order Fermi acceleration of electrons requires an injection of electrons into a mildly
relativistic energy range. However, the mechanism of injection has remained a puzzle both …

The magnetospheric substorm is a key mode of flux and energy transport throughout the
magnetosphere associated with distinct and repeatable magnetotail dynamical processes …

Energetic electrons have frequently been observed in small‐scale flux ropes. However,
whether these energetic electrons were energized directly within the flux rope or not is …

We report a rare regime of Earth's magnetosphere interaction with sub‐Alfvénic solar wind in
which the windsock‐like magnetosphere transforms into one with Alfvén wings. In the …
