Electron energization and mixing observed by MMS in the vicinity of an electron diffusion region during magnetopause reconnection

Abstract Measurements from the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are reported to show distinct features of electron energization and mixing in the diffusion region of the terrestrial magnetopause reconnection. At the ion jet and magnetic field reversals, distribution functions exhibiting signa...
