a) MMS observations of $T_{e\parallel }\propto {(n_e/B)}^2$ for the event studied in Eastwood et al. (2018), Wetherton et al. (2021). b) Green band indicates the electron energization in fluid simulations (Ohia et al. 2015) for guide-field reconnection applying the Lê2009 EoS, in agreement with observations by THEMIS (Phan et al. 2013). c) Analytical predictions (based on the Lê2009 EoS) for the electron heating within the inflow and EDR of anti-parallel reconnection, validated by kinetic simulations results (Le et al. 2016). d) The black line show the total electron heating (sum of red and black lines in c)), compared to results from THEMIS (Phan et al. 2013)
