Analytical solutions for time-dependent kinematic three-dimensional magnetic reconnection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Magnetic reconnection is a process that can rapidly convert magnetic field energy into plasma thermal energy and kinetic energy, and it is also an important energy conversion mechanism in space physics, astrophysics and plasma physics.

Magnetic reconnection driven by electron dynamics [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Magnetic reconnection is the process of releasing energy by magnetized and space plasma. Here the authors report experimental observation of magnetic reconnection in laser-produced plasma and the role of electron scaling on reconnection.

Electron-scale physics in magnetic reconnection
地球与行星物理论评, 2022 Magnetic reconnection is one of the important physical mechanisms for the conversion of magnetic energy into plasma energy, which is closely related to many explosive phenomena in space.

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection through a moving magnetic null [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011 A computational study of three-dimensional magnetic reconnection between two flux ropes through a moving reconnection site is presented. The configuration is considered in the context of two interacting spheromaks constrained by a perfectly conducting

Reconnection Rate and Transition from Ion-coupled to Electron-only Reconnection
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Standard collisionless magnetic reconnection couples with both electron and ion dynamics. Recently, a new type of magnetic reconnection, electron-only magnetic reconnection without ion outflow, has been observed, and its reconnection rate has been found ...

Ion Loss within a Reconnection Exhaust near Mars: MAVEN Observations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present observations from Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN of a reconnection exhaust, which was probably not ongoing, in the Martian magnetosheath. The reconnection jet with abundant heavy ions is directed outward to space.

Kinetic Scale Magnetic Reconnection with a Turbulent Forcing: Particle-in-cell Simulations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Turbulent magnetic reconnection has been observed by spacecraft to occur commonly in terrestrial magnetosphere and the solar wind, providing a new scenario of kinetic scale magnetic reconnection.

Evidence of transient reconnection in the outflow jet of primary reconnection site [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2014 The precise mechanism for the formation of magnetic islands in the magnetotail and the subsequent evolution are still controversial. New investigations have provided the first observational evidence of secondary reconnection in the earthward outflow ...
