Thin current sheets having kinetic scales are an important plasma structure, where the
magnetic energy dissipation and charged particle acceleration are the most effective. It is …

Many phenomena in the Earth's magnetotail have characteristic temporal scales of several
minutes and spatial scales of a few Earth radii (RE). Examples of such transient and …

Measurements from the Cluster spacecraft of electric fields, magnetic fields, and ions are
used to study the structure and dynamics of the reconnection region in the tail at distances …

Using four-point magnetic field measurements by the Cluster spacecraft, we statistically
analyze the magnetic field and electric current configurations during rapid crossings of the …

The review is devoted to plasma structures with an extremely small transverse size, namely,
thin current sheets that have been discovered and investigated by spacecraft observations …

Using the four‐spacecraft Cluster system, we analyze rapid neutral sheet crossings near the
Cluster apogee at about− 18RE. In case studies of multiple oscillations of the locally quiet …

We surveyed fast current sheet crossings (flapping motions) over the distance range 10–30
RE in the magnetotail covered by the Geotail spacecraft. Since the local tilts of these …

Observations of a current sheet as thin as the electron scale are extremely rare in the near‐
Earth magnetotail. By measurement from the novel Magnetospheric Multiscale mission in …

The paper tries to sort out the specific signatures of the Near Earth Neutral Line (NENL) and
the Current Disruption (CD) models, and looks for these signatures in Cluster data from two …

The Martian magnetotail is a complex regime through which atmospheric particles are lost to
space. Our current understanding of Mars' tail continues to develop with the comprehensive …
