Scaling of Magnetic Reconnection Electron Bulk Heating in the High-Alfvén-speed and Low-β Regime of Earth’s Magnetotail

Scaling of Magnetic Reconnection Electron Bulk Heating in the High-Alfvén-speed and Low-β Regime of Earth’s Magnetotail

We have surveyed 21 reconnection exhaust events observed by Magnetospheric MultiScale in the low-plasma- β and high-Alfvén-speed regime of the Earth’s magnetotail to investigate the scaling of electron bulk heating produced by reconnection. The ranges of inflow Alfvén speed and inflow electron β _e...
