Key Signatures of Hall Mediated Reconnection at the Magnetopause

Currently, we are at a very exciting time when observations of reconnection in the magnetosphere are becoming more and more commonplace due to higher time resolution and multiple spacecraft studies. In order to provide clear signatures of Hall mediated reconnection, we simulate reconnection in several possible magnetopause equilibrium with two fluid and hybrid simulations of reconnection. Specifically, we focus on those features most easily compared with satellite data, such as the density depletion layer which forms due to Hall physics near the separatrix of the reconnection process. Comparisons with multiple previously published magnetopause crossings will be performed.
