Observations of Energy Conversion Caused by Magnetic Reconnection at a Dipolarization Front

Abstract Dipolarization fronts (DFs) are widely believed to host energy conversion processes. However, which mechanism is responsible for the energy conversion is still obscure. Using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, a current sheet is observed at a DF. This current sheet is caused b...
