A multi-instrument view of tail reconnection at Saturn

Author contribution:

Jackman led the paper, inspired by her discovery the previous year of the first in situ evidence of plasmoids at Saturn, and opening up a whole new field of research at Saturn into the properties of tail reconnection. She found the case study candidates through a detailed survey of the Cassini data, which required a keen eye to select interesting features. She performed the analysis of the magnetometer data, obtained raw from collaborators on other instrument teams, and plotted and analysed those data sets. She wrote all of the text and incorporated comments and suggestions from co-authors.
