The reconnecting plasmas are asymmetric, differing in magnetic field strength, density, and temperature. Spatial changes in the electron distributions in the diffusion region are resolved and investigated in detail. Heating of magnetosheath electrons parallel to the magnetic field is observed. This heating is shown to be consistent with trapping of magnetosheath electrons by parallel electric fields. date: 2014-05-28 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.215004 vfaculties: VMPS oa_status: green full_text_type: pub primo: open primo_central: open_green article_type_text: Article verified: verified_manual elements_source: Manually entered elements_id: 1022267 doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.215004 lyricists_name: Fazakerley, Andrew lyricists_id: ANFAZ75 full_text_status: public publication: Physical Review Letters volume: 112 number: 21 article_number: 215004 issn: 0031-9007 citation: Graham, DB; Khotyaintsev, YV; Vaivads, A; André, M; Fazakerley, AN; (2014) Electron Dynamics in the Diffusion Region of an Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection.
