MMS observations of electron‐scale filamentary currents in the reconnection exhaust and near the X line

MMS observations of electron‐scale filamentary currents in the reconnection exhaust and near the X line

Abstract We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of macroscopic and electron‐scale current layers in asymmetric reconnection. By intercomparing plasma, magnetic, and electric field data at multiple crossings of a reconnecting magnetopause on 22 October 2015, when the average interspacecraft...
