Magnetotail reconnection asymmetries in an ion-scale, Earth-like magnetosphere

We use a newly developed global Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code to investigate how reconnection drives magnetotail asymmetries in small, ion-scale magnetospheres. Here, we consider a magnetosphere with a similar aspect ratio to Earth but with the ion inertial length (delta(i)) artificially infla...
