Juno Observations of Ion‐Inertial Scale Flux Ropes in the Jovian Magnetotail

Abstract Two ion‐inertial scale magnetic flux ropes are identified in the Juno magnetic field measurements in the dawnside Jovian magnetotail. Previously reported plasmoids in this region had typical diameters of several Jovian radii (RJ). However, events reported here are only ∼0.15–0.19 RJ in diam...
