TY  - JOUR
AB  - Using observations of Earth's bow shock by the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we show for the first time that active magnetic reconnection is occurring at current sheets embedded within the quasiparallel shock's transition layer. We observe an electron jet and heating but no ion response, suggesting we have observed an electrononly mode. The lack of ion response is consistent with simulations showing reconnection onset on subion time scales. We also discuss the impact of electron heating in shocks via reconnection.
