Reconnection Inside a Dipolarization Front of a Diverging Earthward Fast Flow

M. Hosner,
R. Nakamura,
D. Schmid
et al.

Abstract: We examine a Dipolarization Front (DF) event with an embedded electron diffusion region (EDR), observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft on 08 September 2018 at 14:51:30 UT in the Earth's magnetotail by applying multi‐scale multipoint analysis methods. In order to study the large‐scale context of this DF, we use conjunction observations of the Cluster spacecraft together with MMS. A polynomial magnetic field reconstruction technique is applied to MMS data to characterize the embedded electron … Show more

“…Here, we present direct evidence that magnetic reconnection can occur at a DF and result in strong energy conversion therein. Though a magnetic reconnection event has been reported at a DF by a few recent works (Hosner et al, 2024;Marshall et al, 2020), the mechanism leading to reconnection is different from our event.…”
