Electron jet of asymmetric reconnection

Electron jet of asymmetric reconnection

Abstract We present Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of an electron‐scale current sheet and electron outflow jet for asymmetric reconnection with guide field at the subsolar magnetopause. The electron jet observed within the reconnection region has an electron Mach number of 0.35 and is associ...
