Abstract

We analyze the local dynamics of magnetotail reconnection onset using Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) data. In conjunction with MMS, the macroscopic dynamics of this event were captured by a number of other ground and space-based observatories, as is reported in a companion paper. We find that the local dynamics of the onset were characterized by the rapid thinning of the cross-tail current sheet below the ion inertial scale, accompanied by the growth of flapping waves and the subsequent onset of electron tearing. Multiple kinetic-scale magnetic islands were detected coincident with the growth of an initially sub-Alfv\'enic, demagnetized tailward ion exhaust. The onset and rapid enhancement of parallel electron inflow at the exhaust boundary was a remote signature of the intensification of reconnection Earthward of the spacecraft. Two secondary reconnection sites are found embedded within the exhaust from a primary X-line. The primary X-line was designated as such on the basis that (1) while multiple jet reversals were observed in the current sheet, only one reversal of the electron inflow was observed at the high-latitude exhaust boundary, (2) the reconnection electric field was roughly 5 times larger at the primary X-line than the secondary X-lines, and (3) energetic electron fluxes increased and transitioned from anti-field-aligned to isotropic during the primary X-line crossing, indicating a change in magnetic topology. The results are consistent with the idea that a primary X-line mediates the reconnection of lobe magnetic field lines and accelerates electrons more efficiently than its secondary X-line counterparts., Comment: In press, JGR Space Physics, JGRA58162

Abstract

We analyze a magnetotail reconnection onset event on 3 July 2017 that was observed under otherwise quiescent magnetospheric conditions by a fortuitous conjunction of six space and ground-based observatories. The study investigates the large-scale coupling of the solar wind - magnetosphere system that precipitated the onset of the magnetotail reconnection, focusing on the processes that thinned and stretched the cross-tail current layer in the absence of significant flux loading during a two-hour-long preconditioning phase. It is demonstrated with data in the (1) upstream solar wind, (2) at the low-latitude magnetopause, (3) in the high-latitude polar cap, and (4) in the magnetotail that the typical picture of solar wind-driven current sheet thinning via flux loading does not appear relevant for this particular event. We find that the current sheet thinning was, instead, initiated by a transient solar wind pressure pulse and that the current sheet thinning continued even as the magnetotail and solar wind pressures decreased. We suggest that field line curvature induced scattering (observed by Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)) and precipitation (observed by Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP)) of high-energy thermal protons may have evacuated plasma sheet thermal energy, which may require a thinning of the plasma sheet to preserve pressure equilibrium with the solar wind., Comment: In press, JGR space physics, JGRA58161

Abstract

In turbulence, nonlinear terms drive energy transfer from large-scale eddies into small scales through the so-called energy cascade. Turbulence often relaxes toward states that minimize energy; typically these states are considered globally. However, turbulence can also relax toward local quasi-equilibrium states, creating patches or cells where the magnitude of nonlinearity is reduced and energy cascade is impaired. We show, for the first time, compelling observational evidence that this ``cellularization'' of turbulence can occur due to local relaxation in a strongly turbulent natural environment such as the Earth's magnetosheath.

Abstract

We report a unique conjugate observation of fast flows and associated current sheet disturbances in the near-Earth magnetotail by MMS (Magnetospheric Multiscale) and Cluster preceding a positive bay onset of a small substorm at ~14:10 UT, Sep. 8, 2018. MMS and Cluster were located both at X ~-14 RE. A dipolarization front (DF) of a localized fast flow was detected by Cluster and MMS, separated in the dawn-dusk direction by ~4 RE, almost simultaneously. Adiabatic electron acceleration signatures revealed from comparison of the energy spectra confirm that both spacecraft encounter the same DF. We analyzed the change in the current sheet structure based on multi-scale multi-point data analysis. The current sheet thickened during the passage of DF, yet, temporally thinned subsequently associated with another flow enhancement centered more on the dawnward side of the initial flow. MMS and Cluster observed intense perpendicular and parallel current in the off-equatorial region mainly during this interval of the current sheet thinning. Maximum field-aligned currents both at MMS and Cluster are directed tailward. Detailed analysis of MMS data showed that the intense field-aligned currents consisted of multiple small-scale intense current layers accompanied by enhanced Hall-currents in the dawn-dusk flow-shear region. We suggest that the current sheet thinning is related to the flow bouncing process and/or to the expansion/activation of reconnection. Based on these mesoscale and small-scale multipoint observations, 3D evolution of the flow and current-sheet disturbances was inferred preceding the development of a substorm current wedge.

Abstract

Electron injections are critical processes associated with magnetospheric substorms, which deposit significant electron energy into the ionosphere. Although wave scattering of $<$10 keV electrons during injections has been well studied, the link between magnetotail electron injections and energetic ($\geq$100 keV) electron precipitation remains elusive. Using conjugate observations between the ELFIN and Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) missions, we present evidence of tens to hundreds of keV electron precipitation to the ionosphere potentially driven by kinetic Alfv\'en waves (KAWs) associated with magnetotail electron injections and magnetic field gradients. Test particle simulations adapted to observations show that dipolarization-front magnetic field gradients and associated $\nabla B$ drifts allow Doppler-shifted Landau resonances between the injected electrons and KAWs, producing electron spatial scattering across the front which results in pitch-angle decreases and subsequent precipitation. Test particle results show that such KAW-driven precipitation can account for ELFIN observations below $\sim$300 keV., Comment: 25 pages, 5 figures, with supporting information, the manuscript has been accepted for publication by JGR space physics

Abstract

This research examines the plasma processes under penetration of the plasma clouds (plasmoids) across the magnetopause which is modeled as a tangential discontinuity (TD). Cases with the parallel magnetic field in both sides out of the TD are under investigation. Plasma parameters and magnetic field were chosen from the MMS mission and other spacecraft observations. The results are important for understanding the following basic space plasma physics problems: (a) plasma cloud deformation and strong phase mixing with magnetospheric plasma; (b) the transfer of mass, momentum and energy of magnetosheath and magnetic cloud plasma into magnetospheric plasmas; (c) necessary conditions for plasma cloud penetration via the magnetopause; (d) wave generation by plasma clouds inside the magnetopause. Key Points: Plasma clouds (fragments) experience a significant slowdown when moving through magnetosheath plasmasWave‐particle interactions provide a strong phase mixing between plasma cloudsand magnetosheath, and magnetospheric plasmas3‐D hybrid modeling and spacecraft observations provethe mass, momentum and energy transport from the magnetosheath tomagnetosphere [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We use the three-dimensional (3-D) global hybrid code ANGIE3D to simulate the interaction of four solar wind tangential discontinuities (TDs) observed by ARTEMIS P1 from 0740 UT to 0800 UT on 28 December 2019 with the bow shock, magnetosheath, and magnetosphere. We demonstrate how the four discontinuities produce foreshock transients, a magnetosheath cavity-like structure, and a brief magnetopause crossing observed by THEMIS and MMS spacecraft from 0800 UT to 0830 UT. THEMIS D observed entries into foreshock transients exhibiting low density, low magnetic field strength, and high temperature cores bounded by compressional regions with high densities and high magnetic field strengths. The MMS spacecraft observed cavities with strongly depressed magnetic field strengths and highly deflected velocity in the magnetosheath downstream from the foreshock. Dawnside THEMIS A magnetosheath observations indicate a brief magnetosphere entry exhibiting enhanced magnetic field strength, low density, and decreased and deflected velocity (sunward flow). The solar wind inputs into the 3-D hybrid simulations resemble those seen by ARTEMIS. We simulate the interaction of four oblique TDs with properties similar to those in the observation. We place virtual spacecraft at the locations where observations were made. The hybrid simulations predict similar characteristics of the foreshock transients, a magnetosheath cavity, and a magnetopause crossing with characteristics similar to those observed by the multi-spacecraft observations. The detailed and successful comparison of the interaction involving multiple TDs will be presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We carried out a statistical study of equatorial dipolarization fronts (DFs) detected by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission during the full 2017 Earth's magnetotail season. We found that two DF classes are distinguished: class I (74.4%) corresponds to the standard DF properties and energy dissipation and a new class II (25.6%). This new class includes the six DF discussed in Alqeeq et al. (2022, ) and corresponds to a bump of the magnetic field associated with a minimum in the ion and electron pressures and a reversal of the energy conversion process. The possible origin of this second class is discussed. Both DF classes show that the energy conversion process in the spacecraft frame is driven by the diamagnetic current dominated by the ion pressure gradient. In the fluid frame, it is driven by the electron pressure gradient. In addition, we have shown that the energy conversion processes are not homogeneous at the electron scale mostly due to the variations of the electric fields for both DF classes.

Abstract

The four spacecraft of the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission carry instruments to reduce the positive potential by means of indium ion beams. Since the start of the nominal mission in September 2015 and until the end of 2021, the instruments active spacecraft potential control (ASPOC) have been actively operating for more than 16 000 h at a nominal emission current of $20 \mu \text{A}$ per spacecraft. Based on data from more than six years in orbit with more than 50 000 h in regions of scientific interest, statistical results regarding the potential's interdependencies with ambient plasma were obtained. This article reports on the derivation of the photo electron energy spectrum from the correlation between the potential and the plasma data obtained by the fast plasma instrument with and without controlled potential. Finally, the time constants during the relaxation of the controlled potential when the active control instrument is turned off, if measured at high time resolution, allow to estimate the electric capacitance of the spacecraft system., QC 20240702

Abstract

Temporal, spatial, and velocity-space variations of electron phase space density are measured observationally and compared for the first time using the four magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) spacecraft at Earth's magnetopause. Equipped with these unprecedented spatiotemporal measurements offered by the MMS tetrahedron, we compute each term of the electron Vlasov equation that governs the evolution of collisionless plasmas found throughout the universe. We demonstrate how to use single spacecraft measurements to improve the resolution of the electron pressure gradient that supports nonideal parallel electric fields, and we develop a model to intuit the types of kinetic velocity-space signatures that are observed in the Vlasov equation terms. Furthermore, we discuss how the gradient in velocity-space sheds light on plasma energy conversion mechanisms and wave-particle interactions that occur in fundamental physical processes such as magnetic reconnection and turbulence.

Abstract

We have surveyed 21 reconnection exhaust events observed by Magnetospheric MultiScale in the low-plasma- β and high-Alfvén-speed regime of the Earth's magnetotail to investigate the scaling of electron bulk heating produced by reconnection. The ranges of inflow Alfvén speed and inflow electron β e covered by this study are 800–4000 km s−1 and 0.001–0.1, respectively, and the observed heating ranges from a few hundred electronvolts to several kiloelectronvolts. We find that the temperature change in the reconnection exhaust relative to the inflow, Δ T e, is correlated with the inflow Alfvén speed, V Ax,in, based on the reconnecting magnetic field and the inflow plasma density. Furthermore, Δ T e is linearly proportional to the inflowing magnetic energy per particle, m i V Ax , in 2 , and the best fit to the data produces the empirical relation Δ T e = 0.020 m i V Ax , in 2 , i.e., the electron temperature increase is on average ∼2% of the inflowing magnetic energy per particle. This magnetotail study extends a previous magnetopause reconnection study by two orders of magnitude in both magnetic energy and electron β, to a regime that is comparable to the solar corona. The validity of the empirical relation over such a large combined magnetopause–magnetotail plasma parameter range of V A ∼ 10–4000 km s−1 and β e ∼ 0.001–10 suggests that one can predict the magnitude of the bulk electron heating by reconnection in a variety of contexts from the simple knowledge of a single parameter: the Alfvén speed of the ambient plasma.
