The terrestrial magnetopause forms the boundary between the solar wind plasma with its
embedded interplanetary magnetic field on one side, and the terrestrial magnetosphere …

We explore the structure of the magnetopause using a crossing observed by the
Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft on 16 October 2015. Several methods …

When spacecraft (s/c) missions probe plasma structures (PSs) the relative location of the s/c
with respect to the PS is unknown. This information is, however, needed to measure the …

The magnetopause boundary implies two main kinds of variations: a density/temperature
gradient and a magnetic field rotation. Other variations are associated with these two …

Determining the direction normal to the magnetopause layer is a key step for any study of
this boundary. Various techniques have been developed for this purpose. We focus here on …

La magnétopause terrestre est la frontière entre le vent solaire (comprimé par une onde de
choc) et la magnétosphère de la Terre. Ce type de frontière fine et quasiment étanche se …
