Division of Magnetic Flux Rope via Magnetic Reconnection Observed in the Magnetotail
Abstract Using high‐resolution data from Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, we report an intense current layer at the center of a flux rope (FR) in the magnetotail. The intense current layer is caused by the compression of the ion bulk flows at the center of a FR rather than two interlaced flu...
