Reconnection-induced electron energization in magnetospheric Kelvin-Helmholtz dynamics
In kinetic simulations of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, electrons are energized anisotropically (parallel to the field) and nonthermally inside intermittent reconnecting current sheets, with ions supplying the energy.
