In this paper, the particle acceleration processes around magnetotail dipolarization fronts
(DFs) were reviewed. We summarize the spacecraft observations (including Cluster …

Magnetic reconnection underlies the physical mechanism of explosive phenomena in the
solar atmosphere and planetary magnetospheres, where plasma is usually collisionless. In …

Abstract Anti‐dipolarization fronts (ADFs), characterized by the rapid increase of the
negative magnetic field Bz component, are typically formed at the leading edge of the …

We report observations of large‐amplitude (> 50 mV/m) electric fields primarily associated
with bursty bulk flow events. These electric fields reach~ 500 mV/m, which are some of the …

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 …

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 …

Motivated by the presentations and discussions carried out at the Magnetic Reconnection
Workshop, held at the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) of Brazil in March 2014 …

Magnetic reconnection—the process typically lasting for a few seconds in space—is able to
accelerate electrons. However, the efficiency of the acceleration during such a short period …

This review paper summarizes the research of Mercury's magnetosphere in the Post-
MESSENGER era and compares its dynamics to those in other planetary magnetospheres …

Electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) have been reported inside reconnection jets, but their
source and role remain unclear hitherto. Here we present the first observational evidence of …
