Prediction of Axial Asymmetry in Jovian Magnetopause Reconnection
Abstract We show the possible existence of a significant axial asymmetry in the reconnection separator at the Jovian magnetopause using first‐principle, physics‐based global simulations. Under eastward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions near Jupiter's orbit, reconnection occurs at t...
