Image 3: MMS measurements showing the absence of 100-500 keV (high-energy) electrons. (B): MMS measurements during an event with energetic electrons. The X-axis (horizontal) shows the time while the Y-axis(vertical) represents the ratio between the background flux (number of electrons passing through a specific area in a given amount of time) and the actual observation. A value of 1, as shown on the left plot, indicates no energetic particles, whereas the right panel demonstrates a tenfold increase in energetic electrons.
