In Situ Observation of a Magnetopause Indentation that Is Correspondent to Throat Aurora and Is Caused by Magnetopause Reconnection

Abstract Throat auroras have been suggested to correspond to magnetopause indentations, but how such indentations can be generated is an open question. Using coordinated magnetopause in situ and two‐dimensional auroral imaging observations, we showed that a transient magnetopause crossing observed b...
