Nakamura R, Burch J, Birn J, Chen L, Graham D, Guo F, et al.
Space Sci Rev
. 2025 Feb;
221(1):17.
PMID: 39949969
This short article highlights unsolved problems of magnetic reconnection in collisionless plasma. Advanced in-situ plasma measurements and simulations have enabled scientists to gain a novel understanding of magnetic reconnection. Nevertheless,...

. 2023 Jan;
127(10):e2022JA030514.
PMID: 36591322
Fast divergent flows of electrons and ions in the magnetotail plasma sheet are conventionally interpreted as a key reconnection signature caused by the magnetic topology change at the X-line. Therefore,...

. 2022 Oct;
13(1):6259.
PMID: 36307443
Electromagnetic whistler-mode waves in space plasmas play critical roles in collisionless energy transfer between the electrons and the electromagnetic field. Although resonant interactions have been considered as the likely generation...

Hasegawa H, Denton R, Nakamura T, Genestreti K, Phan T, Nakamura R, et al.
J Geophys Res Space Phys
. 2022 Oct;
127(7):e2022JA030408.
PMID: 36248013
We present observations in Earth's magnetotail by the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft that are consistent with magnetic field annihilation, rather than magnetic topology change, causing fast magnetic-to-electron energy conversion in an...

. 2022 Oct;
127(8):e2022JA030334.
PMID: 36247326
The Juno spacecraft's polar orbits have enabled direct sampling of Jupiter's low-altitude auroral field lines. While various data sets have identified unique features over Jupiter's main aurora, they are yet...

Nat Commun
. 2022 May;
13(1):2954.
PMID: 35618713
Coulomb collisions provide plasma resistivity and diffusion but in many low-density astrophysical plasmas such collisions between particles are extremely rare. Scattering of particles by electromagnetic waves can lower the plasma...

Phys Rev Lett
. 2021 Jan;
125(26):265102.
PMID: 33449730
Magnetic reconnection is of fundamental importance to plasmas because of its role in releasing and repartitioning stored magnetic energy. Previous results suggest that this energy is predominantly released as ion...

Nat Commun
. 2020 Oct;
11(1):5049.
PMID: 33028826
Magnetotail reconnection plays a crucial role in explosive energy conversion in geospace. Because of the lack of in-situ spacecraft observations, the onset mechanism of magnetotail reconnection, however, has been controversial...

125(7):e2019JA027410.
PMID: 32999805
The Vlasiator hybrid-Vlasov code was developed to investigate global magnetospheric dynamics at ion-kinetic scales. Here we focus on the role of magnetic reconnection in the formation and evolution of magnetic...

PMID: 32714734
On 5 May 2017, MMS observed a crater-type flux rope on the dawnside tailward magnetopause with fluctuations. The boundary-normal analysis shows that the fluctuations can be attributed to nonlinear Kelvin-Helmholtz...
