Abstract
In the present work, we consider 49 dipolarization fronts (DF) detected by the Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission on 2017, near the Earth’s magnetotail equator (|Bx|0) ahead or at the DF. For the second subcategory, we found the same behavior ahead or at the DF whereas it is the opposite (J·E0) only occurs behind the front for the second subcategory. The possible origin of these two subcategories is discussed.
