Scientific paper

Using multi-spacecraft observations from the Cluster mission, we examine the thin current structures frequently seen at the magnetopause. We use an new automatic method to identify thin and strong current sheets and we provide statistics on their width, location and strength. Electron data are to used to investigate if reconnection separatrices are associated with the current sheets. We also compare our results with corresponding thin current sheets found in the magnetotail and the magnetosheath/bowshock regions.
