Motion of the MMS spacecraft relative to the magnetic reconnection structure observed on 16 October 2015 at 1307 UT

Abstract We analyze a magnetopause crossing by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft at 1307 UT on 16 October 2016 that showed features of electron‐scale reconnection. For this event, we find orthonormal LMN coordinates from the magnetic field, with N and L varying respectively along the ma...
