Statistical Limitations on Detecting Diamagnetic Suppression of Reconnection at Earth’s Magnetopause
Author(s): Nicolas Aunai, Bayane Michotte de Welle, Ambre Ghisalberti, and Benoit Lavraud
The occurrence of magnetic reconnection is of pivotal importance regarding the evolution of many magnetized astrophysical systems. Among others, the mechanism known as “diamagnetic suppression” can prevent reconnection from developing. Over the last decade, many studies evidenced a statistical corre… [Phys. Rev.
