Ion temperature anisotropy across a magnetotail reconnection jet

A significant fraction of the energy released by magnetotail reconnection appears to go into ion heating, but this heating is generally anisotropic. We examine ARTEMIS dual‐spacecraft observations of a long‐duration magnetotail exhaust generated by antiparallel reconnection in conjunction with parti...
