Panels a–d: overview of encounter 5. Panels e–h: partial crossing of an antisunward exhaust showing magnetic disconnection. Panels i–l: full crossing of an antisunward exhaust showing magnetic disconnection. Panels m–p: full crossing of a HCS showing no reconnection jets, but counterstreaming electrons in the current sheet suggestive of closed field lines. The parameters in panels a–d are the same as in Fig. 1. Panels e, i, m: magnitude of the magnetic field. Panels f, j, n: radial components of the magnetic field. Panels g, k, o: radial component of the proton velocity. Panels h, l, p: pitch angle distributions of strahl electrons. The proton moments are from the SWEAP/SPAN-ion measurements and in the Sun’s frame. Panel g: the red traces are the Walén predicted V_R.
