AI总结:

本研究利用三维混合模拟揭示,在准径向南向IMF湍流条件下,磁鞘高速喷流撞击可压缩磁层顶电流片并触发局地突发磁重联。

摘要:

高速喷流——磁鞘中的动压增强——对地球磁层顶的撞击已被观测到会触发局地磁重联。我们开展三维混合模拟,采用准径向南向行星际磁场(IMF)研究湍流条件下的磁鞘与磁层顶。与强南向IMF下的准稳态重联不同,我们表明喷流撞击磁层顶后,磁层顶向内移动,电流片受到压缩并增强,同时观测到局地磁重联特征,表现出与航天器测量结果的相似性。

英文摘要:

The impact of high-speed jets -- dynamic pressure enhancements in the magnetosheath -- on the Earth's magnetopause has been observed to trigger local magnetic reconnection. We perform a three-dimensional hybrid simulation to study the magnetosheath and magnetopause under turbulent conditions using a quasi-radial southward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). In contrast to quasi-steady reconnection with a strong southward IMF, we show that after the impact of a jet on the magnetopause, the magnetopause moves inwards, the current sheet is compressed and intensified and signatures of local magnetic reconnection are observed, showing similarities to spacecraft measurements
