Dynamic processes and kinetic structure of collisionless reconnection at the dayside magnetopause: comparison between GEOTAIL observations and computer simulations
In this paper we report new kinetic features of ions and electrons observed in the vicinity of the reconnection layer on 10 January 1997. This event has a three-dimensional magnetic field topological structure, which is much more complex than the previously suggested two-dimensional magnetic...
