Electron Crescent Distributions as a Manifestation of Diamagnetic Drift in an Electron-Scale Current Sheet : Magnetospheric Multiscale Observations Using New 7.5 ms Fast Plasma Investigation Moments

We report Magnetospheric Multiscale observations of electron pressure gradient electric fields near a magnetic reconnection diffusion region using a new technique for extracting 7.5 ms electron moments from the Fast Plasma Investigation. We find that the deviation of the perpendicular electron bulk...
