“…The electron vortex is reminiscent of small‐scale magnetic holes, observed extensively in the plasma sheet (Gershman et al, ; Goodrich, Ergun, & Stawarz, ; Goodrich, Ergun, Wilder, et al, ), magnetosheath (Huang, Du, et al, ; Huang, Sahraoui, et al, ; Yao et al, ), and kinetic simulations (Haynes et al, ). In these structures, electron‐scale current loops generate depletions in | B |, and similar to the structure observed here, J in some cases is linked to electron E × B drifts (Goodrich, Ergun, & Stawarz, ).…”
