The Earth’s magnetotail contains a current sheet separating the anti-Sunward field of the southern lobe from the sunward-pointing northern lobe. Herein, we report tail current sheets that are supported by only electron currents. We examine one electron-only current sheet in detail, and briefly discuss ten others. Three current sheets are interpreted in terms of the time-evolution of reconnection onset. These current sheets show evidence of parallel electron heating, perpendicular ion heating, and current sheet expansion. These features are consistent with electron and ion behavior during traditional “electron-ion” reconnection. Ground-based and in-situ data show that electron-ion reconnection occurs shortly after each “pre-ion reconnection” electron-only reconnection event. This suggests that electron-only reconnection can act as a precursor to electron-ion reconnection. We note that five events occur shortly after a period of electron-ion reconnection, which suggests that electron-only reconnection is more than merely a precursor to ion reconnection.
