“…Current sheets (CSs) play a key role in space plasmas in the storage and conversion of the magnetic energy into to kinetic and thermal energy of plasma particles. During last decades in situ spacecraft observations have revealed that CSs are formed in very different magnetospheres: the compact and very dynamic Mercury's magnetosphere (e.g., Slavin et al, ), in the induced magnetospheres of Mars and Venus (e.g., Vaisberg & Zeleny, ; Dubinin et al, ; Halekas et al, ; Vasko et al, ; Dubinin & Fraenz, ; DiBraccio et al, ; Grigorenko et al, ,Grigorenko et al, ), the Earth's magnetosphere (Ness, ), the disk‐like magnetospheres of Saturn (Dougherty et al, ) and Jupiter (Artemyev et al, ; Smith et al, ), the cylindrically symmetric magnetospheres of Neptune and Uranus (Ness et al, ), plasma environment of comets (McComas et al, ), and in the solar wind (e.g., Gosling, ; Malova et al, ).…”
