Scientific paper

In situ observation of the Earth's magnetosphere has identified Hall magnetic fields as a key signature of collisionless magnetic reconnection. The inflow portion of the reconnection diffusion region is further characterized by strong electron pressure anisotropy. These two features are tightly linked in a quantitative model, which is verified using fully kinetic simulations. The model predicts the Hall field strength and the maximum electron pressure anisotropy as functions of the upstream ratio of electron fluid and magnetic pressures.
