摘要：

With high-resolution data of the recently launched Magnetospheric Multiscale mission, we report a magnetic reconnection event at the dayside magnetopause. This reconnection event, having a density asymmetry N-high/N-low approximate to 2 on the two sides of the reconnecting current sheet and a guide field B-g approximate to 0.4B(0) in the out-of-plane direction, exhibit all the two-fluid features: Alfvenic plasma jets in the outflow region, bipolar Hall electric fields toward the current sheet center, quadrupolar Hall magnetic fields in the out-of-plane direction, and the corresponding Hall currents. Obviously, the density asymmetry N-high/N-low approximate to 2 and the guide field B-g approximate to 0.4B(0) are not sufficient to dismiss the quadrupolar pattern of Hall reconnection. This is different from previous simulations, where the bipolar pattern of Hall reconnection was suggested.
