Scientific paper

In this paper we will present a new series of observations of magnetic reconnection at the magnetopause using the Lyon-Fedder-Mobarry (LFM) three dimensional MHD simulation code. In previous work we were able to identify the reconnection rate, average magnetic shear angle, and distribution of reconnected flux at the dayside magnetopause as a function of the angle of the solar wind magnetic field. Our latest work explores the locations where plasma flows beyond the dayside magnetopause and how these regions are connected to those where reconnection is a dominant process. We also present an update on the progress of incorporating Hall physics into the simulation code.
