Characteristics of the current sheet (case 8kU6). Panel (a): Mass density ρ in the current sheet, mapped for L_B ≤ 20 km. The dashed line with endpoints P₀ to P₁ marks the current sheet, with coordinate axes for d_∥ and d_⊥ plotted in. Diffusion and inflow regions are delimited by magenta and green rectangles, respectively. Panel (b): Average density ρ_CS (black curve) and width a (green curve) of the current sheet. Panel (c): Parallel component of magnetic field, B_∥ (blue), across the current sheet and the best-fit (red) curve used to estimate a at d_∥ = 0. Panels (d) and (e): Alfvén velocity v_A (d) and perpendicular velocity u_⊥ (e) across the current sheet. Blue area maps the ranges of all values for |d_∥|≤0.25L, and black curve plots the average. Estimated inflow region mean values are printed in top right corner.
