In situ evidence for the structure of the magnetic null in a 3D reconnection event in the Earth's magnetotail

Escoubet, C. P.; Balogh, A.; Glassmeier, K. H. +12 more

Magnetic reconnection is one of the most important processes in astrophysical, space and laboratory plasmas. Identifying the structure around the point at which the magnetic field lines break and subsequently reform, known as the magnetic null point, is crucial to improving our understanding of reconnection. But owing to the inherently three-dimen…
