Dayside transients, such as hot flow anomalies, foreshock bubbles, magnetosheath jets, flux
transfer events, and surface waves, are frequently observed upstream from the bow shock …

The plasma sheet is populated in part by the solar wind plasma. Four solar entry
mechanisms are examined:(1) double cusp or double lobe reconnection,(2) Kelvin …

The nature of small-scale turbulent fluctuations in the solar wind is investigated using a
comparison of Cluster magnetic and electric field measurements to predictions arising from …

Motivated by the presentations and discussions carried out at the Magnetic Reconnection
Workshop, held at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) of Brazil in March 2014 …

Whistler waves that can produce anomalous resistivity by affecting electrons' motion have
been suggested as one of the mechanisms responsible for magnetic reconnection in the …

Dynamics of the near‐Earth magnetotail associated with substorms during a period of
extended southward interplanetary magnetic field is studied using a three‐dimensional (3 …

Magnetic reconnection is initiated in a small diffusion region but can drive global‐scale
dynamics in Earth's magnetosphere, solar flares, and astrophysical systems. Understanding …

Whistler-mode waves are one of the most important plasma waves potentially affecting the
triggering and development processes of magnetic reconnection. They are widely present in …

We report observations from the THEMIS spacecraft characterizing the nature and
importance of low frequency electromagnetic fluctuations on kinetic scales embedded within …

Whistler waves are believed to play an important role during magnetic reconnection. Here
we report the near‐simultaneous occurrence of two types of the whistler‐mode waves in the …
