HEATING MECHANISMS IN THE LOW SOLAR ATMOSPHERE THROUGH MAGNETIC RECONNECTION IN CURRENT SHEETS [PDF]
, 2016 We simulate several magnetic reconnection processes in the low solar chromosphere/photosphere; the radiation cooling, heat conduction and ambipolar diffusion are all included. Our numerical results indicate that both the high temperature (≳8 × 104 K) and

Magnetic configurations of the tilted current sheets in magnetotail [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 In this research, the geometrical structures of tilted current sheet and tail flapping waves have been analysed based on multiple spacecraft measurements and some features of the tilted current sheets have been made clear for the first time.

RADIATING CURRENT SHEETS IN THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 An MHD model of a Hydrogen plasma with flow, an energy equation, NLTE ionization and radiative cooling, and an Ohm's law with anisotropic electrical conduction and thermoelectric effects is used to self-consistently generate atmospheric layers over a $50$ km height range.

Sausage mode instability of thin current sheets as a cause of magnetospheric substorms [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1999 Observations have shown that, prior to substorm explosions, thin current sheets are formed in the plasma sheet of the Earth's magnetotail. This provokes the question, to what extent current-sheet thinning and substorm onsets are physically, maybe even

Solar Wind Current Sheets Inside and Outside of Switchback Regions
, 2023 Several long-standing theories postulate that turbulent dissipation can heat solar wind protons in situ. Turbulent dissipation may occur via current sheets, which are small-scale structures embedded in the solar wind magnetic field.

Linking Turbulent Interplanetary Magnetic Field Fluctuations and Current Sheets
UniverseThe study aims to understand the role of solar wind current sheets (CSs) in shaping the spectrum of turbulent fluctuations and driving dissipation processes in space plasma.

The heliospheric current sheet [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2001 The heliospheric current sheet (HCS) is the boundary between open oppositely directed magnetic field lines which commonly originate as the outward extension of the solar magnetic dipole. The dipole tilt, the rotation of the Sun, and the outward propagation of the solar wind cause peaks and valleys in the current sheet which spiral outward.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space SciencesMotivated by knowledge that directional discontinuities (strong current sheets) in the solar-wind magnetic time series have dominating effects on the magnetic power spectral density of the solar wind, the question is raised as to what are the effects of ...

Thin embedded current sheets: Cluster observations of ion kinetic structure and analytical models [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 Kinetic structure of embedded thin horizontal current sheets is investigated. Current density estimated by curlometer technique is in general agreement with a sum of electron and proton currents.

The thickness of current sheets and implications for coronal heating
Frontiers in Physics, 2023 The thickness of current sheets is extremely important, especially as it relates to the onset of fast magnetic reconnection. Onset determines how much magnetic free energy can build up in a field before it is explosively released.
