Coalescence of Macroscopic Flux Ropes at the Subsolar Magnetopause : Magnetospheric Multiscale Observations

2017

We report unambiguous in situ observation of the coalescence of macroscopic flux ropes by the magnetospheric multiscale (MMS) mission. Two coalescing flux ropes with sizes of similar to 1 R-E were ...
