Solar Orbiter MAG, SWA-PAS, and SWA-EAS data recorded during a reconnection event that passed the spacecraft on 16th July 2020. The data is presented in a current sheet LMN coordinate system based on results of minimum variance analysis of the MAG data highlighted in red in the top four panels, which show the total field strength, and BL, BM, and BN components respectively. Panels 5–9 show ground-derived moments from these data, showing the ion density, the three LMN components of the ion bulk flow velocity and the average ion temperature. The final panel shows a pitch-angle versus time spectrogram for electrons measured by the SWA-EAS. This panel presents the phase space density of electrons in the solar wind strahl energy range (measurements summed for all electrons with energy > 70 eV).

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
