Current sheets from Ulysses observation [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 Current sheet is a significant source of solar wind MHD turbulence intermittency. It has long been recognized that these structures can arise from non-linear interactions of MHD turbulence.

Relation between current sheets and vortex sheets in stationary incompressible MHD [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2012 Magnetohydrodynamic configurations with strong localized current concentrations and vortices play an important role in the dissipation of energy in space and astrophysical plasma. Within this work we investigate the relation between current sheets and

Quasi‐adiabaticity in bifurcated current sheets [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 We examine the non‐linear dynamics of charged particles in “bifurcated” (double‐humped) current sheets. We show that, when the adiabaticity parameter κ is of the order unity, particles experience a negligible change of magnetic moment. Such a behavior contrasts with the prominent magnetic moment scattering that is achieved in single‐humped current ...

Additional acceleration of solar-wind particles in current sheets of the heliosphere [PDF]
, 2015 . Particles of fast solar wind in the vicinity of the heliospheric current sheet (HCS) or in a front of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) often reveal very peculiar energy or velocity profiles, density distributions with double or triple ...

Development of bifurcated current sheets in solar wind reconnection exhausts [PDF]
, 2015 Petschek‐type reconnection is expected to result in bifurcations of reconnection current sheets. In contrast, Hall reconnection simulations show smooth changes in the reconnecting magnetic field.

Optimal Energy Growth in Current Sheets [PDF]
Solar Physics, 2017 In this paper, we investigate the possibility of transient growth in the linear perturbation of current sheets. The resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) operator for a background field consisting of a current sheet is non-normal, meaning that associated eigenvalues and eigenmodes can be very sensitive to perturbation. In a linear stability analysis of a

Small-scale Current Sheets and Associated Switchback Activity in the Inner Heliosphere
The Astrophysical Journal LettersSeveral long-standing theories postulate that turbulent dissipation can heat solar wind protons in situ. Turbulent dissipation can occur via current sheets, which are small-scale structures embedded in the solar wind magnetic field.

Current sheets in comet 67P/Churyumov‐Gerasimenko's coma [PDF]
, 2017 The Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) data are used to investigate the presence of current sheets in the coma of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The interaction of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) transported by the solar wind toward the outgassing
