Magnetic reconnection at the dayside magnetopause: Advances with MMS (2016, result): “The population along B is similar to the parallel crescent distributions observed by Burch et al. [2016b] for high-shear reconnection. We note here that the narrow beam along B direction was also present in the parallel crescent DFs presented by Burch et al. [2016b] but were not discussed in that pa”
Cluster observations of continuous reconnection at the magnetopause under steady interplanetary magnetic field conditions (2004, background): “Figure 9 displays a clear D-shaped distribution detected on 18 March 2002 by Cluster in a reconnection event poleward of the cusp during northward IMF (Phan et al., 2003).”
Magnetospheric Multiscale Science Mission Profile and Operations (2016, methodology): “These encounters are rare (e.g., Phan et al. 2003), and there are no good statistics on the location of reconnection at the magnetopause from these individual encounters.”
