Illustration of “expanding,” “contracting,” and “stable‐propagating” magnetic dip structures

Editors' Highlights 28 July 2020

Upstream Propagating Magnetic Dips in the Magnetosheath

The previous consensus that magnetic dips in the magnetosheath can be attributed to non-propagating mirror waves is now shown to be oversimplified.
