Observations of energetic particle escape at the magnetopause: Early results from the MMS Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS)

Abstract Energetic (greater than tens of keV) magnetospheric particle escape into the magnetosheath occurs commonly, irrespective of conditions that engender reconnection and boundary‐normal magnetic fields. A signature observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission, simultaneous monohemisp...
