Coordinated Cluster/Double Star observations of dayside flux transfer events on 6 April 2004

Dunlop, Malcolm; Xie, Lun; Liu, ZhenXing +8 more

With the Double Star Program TC1 in the equatorial orbit and Cluster tetrahedron in the high latitude polar orbit, a conjunct observation of FTEs on the dayside magnetopause (MP) on April 6, 2004 is presented in this study. The FTEs observed by TC1 at low latitudes are characterized to be generated in the subsolar region and the obtained flux tube…

Low-frequency fluctuations in the magnetosheath: Double Star TC-1 and Cluster observations

Zhang, TieLong; Du, Jian; Wang, Chi +1 more

The magnetic field variations are analyzed in the range of time periods from 4 s to 240 s in the magnetosheath observed by the Double Star TC-1 and Cluster in 2004. The characteristics of the magnetic field fluctuations are strongly controlled by the angle between the upstream interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and the normal of the bow shock. Ge…

Solar wind transport into magnetosphere caused by magnetic reconnection at high latitude magnetopause during northward IMF: Cluster-DSP conjunction observations

Lucek, E.; Reme, H.; Dunlop, M. +5 more

An event of Cluster-Double Star conjunction observations of magnetic reconnection at high latitude magnetopause nightside of both cusps and solar wind transport into magnetosphere caused by such reconnection process has been investigated. During northward IMF, Cluster/SC1 observed accelerated flows and ion heating associated with magnetic reconnec…

New progress of Double Star-Cluster joint exploration and study

Shen, Chao; Cao, JinBin; Lu, Li +3 more

The magnetic reconnection of magnetosphere and the magnetospheric space storms (including magnetospheric substorm, magnetic storm, magnetospheric particle storm) has long been one of the most challenging subjects in the solar-terrestrial physics. The reconnection mechanism and global triggering process of the magnetospheric space storms are still …
