Magnetic Reconnection Driven by the Impact of a Magnetosheath High‐Speed Jet

Abstract High‐speed jets (HSJs) are transient structures in the magnetosheath characterized by enhanced dynamic pressure. While recent studies report that HSJs trigger magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause, whether they can directly drive reconnection within the magnetosheath...

Spiky Bursts of Energetic Electron Beams Upstream of Nonstationary Quasi‐Perpendicular Shocks

Abstract Energetic electron beams play a crucial role in collisionless shocks by driving upstream plasma waves and providing seed populations for diffusive shock acceleration. However, the processes responsible for their generation at quasi‐perpendicular shocks remain poorly unde...
