Flux ropes near magnetic reconnection sites can form spontaneously from field-aligned electron currents rather than from the secondary tearing instability.
The (x, y, z) GSM components of the L, M, and N axes are L = ( 0.2036, - 0.4537, 0.8676) GSM, M = (0.6565, -0.5941, -0.4648) GSM, and N = (0.7263, 0.6642, 0.1769) GSM
