Thin and superthin ion current sheets. Quasi-adiabatic and nonadiabatic models
Thin anisotropic current sheets (CSs) are phenomena of the general occurrence in the magnetospheric tail. We develop an analytical theory of the self-consistent thin CSs. General solitions of the Grad-Shafranov equation are obtained in a quasi-adiabatic approximation which neglects the jumps of the...
