Electron energy–pitch angle distributions for the 2025 June 15 and 2015 January 12 reconnection events. Panels (a)–(c) show the electron differential energy flux (DEF) for the 2025 June 15 event on the left side of the CS, within the reconnection exhaust region, and on the right side of the CS, respectively. Panels (d)–(f) show the corresponding distributions for the 2015 January 12 event.
