英文摘要 | Abstract Magnetic reconnection between neighboring magnetic field loops, the so-called interloop reconnection, is a common process to drive flares in the solar atmosphere. However, there is no direct evidence that a similar but less explosive process can take place on planets. The strong crustal fields on Mars generate plenty of magnetic loops in the near-Mars regions, providing a unique environment to research the interloop reconnection on a planet. Here, we report magnetic reconnection events between crustal field loops in the Martian ionosphere observed by Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) for the first time. During the current layer crossing, MAVEN recorded the characteristic signals of collisionless magnetic reconnection, including the Hall magnetic field, Alfvénic outflow, and electron energization. This finding implies that the interloop reconnection in the Martian ionosphere could contribute to the localized energy deposition and particle energization, which provides the seed source for aurora in the Martian atmosphere. |
