Electron‐scale measurements of dipolarization front
Dipolarization front (DF)—a sharp boundary with scale of ion inertial length (c/ωpi) in the
Earth's magnetotail—can also have fine structures at electron scale (c/ωpe). Such electron …

Electron jet detected by MMS at dipolarization front
Using MMS high‐resolution measurements, we present the first observation of fast electron
jet (V e~ 2,000 km/s) at a dipolarization front (DF) in the magnetotail plasma sheet. This jet …
