Paper
Out-of-plane Parallel Current in the Diffusion Regions: The Interaction Between Diffusion Region Systems and their Impact on the Outer EDR
2024
Overview
Dayside magnetic reconnection allows for the transfer of the solar wind's energy into Earth's magnetosphere. This process takes place in electron diffusion regions (EDRs) embedded in ion diffusion regions (IDRs), which form in the magnetopause boundary's current sheet. A significant out-of-plane parallel current contribution in the diffusion regions was reported in Beedle et al. 2023. In order to understand the underlying structure of this parallel current, we compared EDR statistical results with a 2.5D Particle-In Cell (PIC) simulation. From this comparison, we identified out-of-plane parallel current signatures as defining features of the outer EDR and IDR. This significant out-of-plane parallel current indicates the interaction of the IDR and EDR systems, and provides implications for not only understanding energy dissipation in the diffusion regions, but also determining the location of the outer EDR.
