In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts
(DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster …

Magnetic reconnection underlies the physical mechanism of explosive phenomena in the
solar atmosphere and planetary magnetospheres, where plasma is usually collisionless. In …

Two dipolarization front (DF) structures observed by Cluster in the Earth midtail region
(XGSM≈− 15 RE), showing respectively the feature of Fermi and betatron acceleration of …

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 …

Using Cluster data, we investigate the electric structure of a dipolarization front (DF)–the ion
inertial length (c/ωpi) scale boundary in the Earth's magnetotail formed at the front edge of …

Dipolarization front (DF)—a sharp boundary with scale of ion inertial length (c/ωpi) in the
Earth's magnetotail—can also have fine structures at electron scale (c/ωpe). Such electron …

Using MMS high‐resolution measurements, we present the first observation of fast electron
jet (V e~ 2,000 km/s) at a dipolarization front (DF) in the magnetotail plasma sheet. This jet …

A long‐standing problem concerning dipolarization front (DF) is why energetic electrons
only appear in half the DF events? By analyzing MMS measurements, here we answer this …

Occurrence of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) is ubiquitous in space plasmas, eg, solar
wind, Lunar wake and the planetary magnetospheres. Several theoretical models have …

Electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) have been reported inside reconnection jets, but their
source and role remain unclear hitherto. Here we present the first observational evidence of …
