Comparing simulated and observed particle energy distributions through magnetic reconnection in Earth’s magnetotail

Open Access

Fig. 2.

Energy distributions from MMS3 observations (gray dots) and simulation R7. Solid lines show the simulated electrons (a) and ions (b) at different times until $135 Ω_{0, i}^{- 1}$ $135\Omega_{0,i}^{-1}$ , with later times in darker shades. Dotted lines represent Maxwellian fits of the core of the observed distributions, and dashed lines show the simulated energy distributions at initialization.
