- Author contribution statement
- Magnetic reconnection is of key importance to space and astrophysical plasmas. The primary goal of NASA’s MMS mission is to encounter the diffusion region, where reconnection happens, and determine the physics at work. This article presents the first MMS team measurement of the electron diffusion region. I identified the event that is the focus of this article and contributed to the analysis and manuscript preparation.
