Magnetic topologies of an in vivo FTE observed by Double Star/TC-1 at Earth's magnetopause

Dunlop, M.; Raeder, J.; Zhong, J. +5 more

transfer events (FTEs) are magnetic flux ropes formed at planetary magnetopauses (MPs). Although evidence suggests that FTEs form through time-dependent magnetic reconnection, details of that process and 3D structure of the flux ropes remain largely unclear. This letter presents Double Star/TC-1 data of an FTE occurred on 7 April 2004 which show t…
