    Relation: The authors acknowledge the European Research Council for starting grant 200141-QuESpace, with which Vlasiator was developed, and Consolidator grant 682068-PRESTISSIMO awarded to further develop Vlasiator and use it for scientific investigations. The authors gratefully also acknowledge the Academy of Finland (grants 138599, 267144, and 309937) and the CSC-IT Center for Science Grand Challenge grant and PRACE Tier-0 grant number 2014112573 with which the Vlasiator simulation run was carried out. Vlasiator (http://www.physics.helsinki.fi/vlasiator/) is distributed under the GPL-2 open source license (Palmroth et al., 2019). To learn more, see von Alfthan et al. (2020). Vlasiator uses a data structure developed in-house (Sandroos, 2019), which is compatible with the VisIt visualization software (Childs et al., 2012) using a plugin available at the VLSV repository. The Analysator software was used to produce the presented figures. The run described here takes several terabytes of disk space and is kept in storage maintained within the CSC IT Center for Science. Data presented in this paper can be accessed by following the data policy on the Vlasiator web site (https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/vlasiator/rules-of-the-road).The authors would also like to thank the MMS team for providing high-quality data products and analysis tools. The data can be publicly accessed at the MMS Science Data Center website (https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/).The work done at the University of Michigan was supported by NASA MMS contract NNG04EB99C at the Southwest Research Institute, NASA MMS GI grant 80NSSC18K1363, and NASA grant 80NSSC18K0999. The work done at Ecole Polytechnique was supported by the DGA project, convention 2778/IMES.; Akhavan-Tafti , M , Palmroth , M , Slavin , J A , Battarbee , M , Ganse , U , Grandin , M , Le , G , Gershman , D J , Eastwood , J P & Stawarz , J E 2020 , ' Comparative Analysis of the Vlasiator Simulations and MMS Observations of Multiple X-Line Reconnection and Flux Transfer Events ' , Journal of geophysical research.
