Magnetic Reconnection as a Potential Trigger for Magnetotail Flapping at Mars: Insights From MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 Observations

Abstract Magnetotail current sheet (CS) flapping is a universal plasma phenomenon observed at multiple planets, yet its triggering mechanisms remain poorly understood outside of Earth. At Mars, single‐spacecraft observations have also reported tail flapping, but the processes responsible for its ons...
