Evidence of guide field magnetic reconnection in flapping current sheets

Based on current sheet flapping motion on 27 August 2018 in the dusk flank magnetotail, as recorded by instruments aboard Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft, we present the first study of guide field reconnection observed in the flux rope embedded in kink-like flapping current sheets near th...
