First Time

<p>Using measurements by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) spacecraft in the magnetotail, we studied electron distribution functions across an electron diffusion region. The dependence of the non-gyrotropic distribution on the energy and vertical distance from the EDR mid-plane was revealed for the first time. The non-gyrotropic distribution was observed everywhere except for an extremely narrow layer right at the EDR mid-plane. The energy of the non-gyrotropic distribution increased with growth of the vertical distance from the mid-plane. For the electrons within certain energy range, they exhibited the non-gyrotropic distribution at the distance further away from the mid-plane than that expected from the meandering motion. The correlation between the crescent-shaped distribution with multiple stripes and the large Hall electric field was established. It appears that the measured non-gyrotropic distribution and the crescent-shaped distribution were caused by the meandering motion and the Hall electric field together.</p>
