From: Energetic ion acceleration during magnetic reconnection in the Earth’s magnetotail
Overview of the reconnection event on 28 January 1997. Three components of the magnetic field, ion (red thick), and electron (blue thin) density and three components of the velocity, temperature, energetic electron integrated flux, and energetic ion differential flux are presented from top to bottom, respectively. The three vertical dotted lines show the starting tailward flow (correspond to the downstream of reconnection out flow), the flow reversal (upstream), and earthward flow end time (downstream)
