Wave Modes at Magnetic Reconnection Sites
Keywords:
magnetic reconnection, wave modes, plasma, magnetosphere, energy transportAbstract
The subject of transport and transfer of energy by magnetic reconnection and particles-waves energy interchange is the main focus today on earth magnetosphere. The magnetospheric multiscale spacecraft, MMS with its grate instruments performance on monitoring the magnetic reconnection signatures, has made a noticeable progress on the research and study of this new transfer of energy. Two main magnetic reconnection signatures are of great importance, the pressure tensor and the presence of KAW and EMIC waves modes.
