MMS Observations of Plasma Heating Associated With FTE Growth

Upon formation, flux transfer events (FTEs) in the subsolar magnetosheath have been observed to grow in diameter, λ, while convecting along the magnetopause. Plasma pressure has also been found to decrease sub‐adiabatically with increasing λ, indicating the presence of internal plasma acceleration a...
