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>

AbstractWe use numerical simulations from the Community Coordinated Modeling Center to provide, for the first time, a coherent temporal description of the magnetic reconnection process of two dayside Electron Diffusion Regions (EDRs) identified in Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission data. The model places the MMS spacecraft near the separator line in these most intense and long-lived events. A listing of 31 dayside EDRs identified by the authors is provided to encourage collaboration in analysis of these unique encounters.
