A Flux Transfer Event (FTE) is a phenomenon observed in space physics, particularly in the context of the interaction between the Earth's magnetosphere and the solar wind. FTEs are typically associated with magnetic reconnection, a process where oppositely directed magnetic field lines come together and connect, allowing energy and particles to be transferred between the solar wind and the magnetosphere.
