This paper gives an overview of the insights into the magnetic reconnection process
obtained by in-situ measurements across current sheets found in planetary magnetospheres …

One of the major questions about magnetic reconnection is how specific solar wind and
interplanetary magnetic field conditions influence where reconnection occurs at the Earth's …

On 18 March 2011, MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging
(MESSENGER) became the first spacecraft to orbit Mercury, providing a new opportunity to …

We address the conditions for the onset of magnetic reconnection based on a survey of 197
reconnection events in solar wind current sheets observed by the Wind spacecraft. We …

Abstract Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR) is the strongest terrestrial radio emission, and
emanates from the same electron acceleration regions from which particles precipitate into …

The magnetopause is the key region in space for the transfer of solar wind mass,
momentum, and energy into the magnetosphere. During the last decade, our understanding …

Magnetic reconnection is an important process that occurs at the magnetopause boundary
of Earth's magnetosphere because it leads to transport of solar wind energy into the system …

The magnetosphere is the lens through which solar space weather phenomena are focused
and directed towards the Earth. In particular, the non-linear interaction of the solar wind with …

Reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause is the mechanism by which magnetic fields in
different regions change topology to create open magnetic field lines that allow energy and …

We present near‐simultaneous measurements from two THEMIS spacecraft at the dayside
magnetopause with a 1.5 h separation in local time. One spacecraft observes a high‐density …
