Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we detect a magnetic null inside the MMS space‐craft (SC) tetrahedron using a linear interpolation that might be nearly impossible for very small inter‐SC separation like MMS (previously implemented on Cluster mission which is larger separation SC). We also report, successive or identical magnetic nulls that enter/reenter and cross the MMS spacecraft tetrahedron, and the “bifurcations” (change of the null type) of magnetic nulls are captured when it crosses one of four MMS tetrahedral surfaces during the 19 September 2015 event. During this event, we observe the eigenvalues of the radial null that enters and crosses the MMS tetrahedron changes from all real to one conjugate complex pair and one real eigenvalues, when the null exits through one of the tetrahedral boundary cells. This bifurcation is also evidenced by measuring the topological distance between two nulls before and after “bifurcation” using the Earth Mover's Distance.
