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.

Perspectives on magnetic reconnection. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2016 Magnetic reconnection is a topological rearrangement of magnetic field that occurs on time scales much faster than the global magnetic diffusion time. Since the field lines break on microscopic scales but energy is stored and the field is driven on macroscopic scales, reconnection is an inherently multi-scale process that often involves both ...

Magnetic Reconnection in Space: An Introduction. [PDF]
Space Sci RevAbstract An International Space Science Institute (ISSI) workshop was convened to assess recent rapid advances in studies of magnetic reconnection made possible by the NASA Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission and to place them in context with concurrent advances in solar physics by the Parker Solar Probe, astrophysics, planetary science ...

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.

The reversibility of magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Physics of Plasmas, 2021 The reversibility of the transfer of energy from the magnetic field to the surrounding plasma during magnetic reconnection is examined. Trajectories of test particles in an analytic field model demonstrate that irreversibility is associated with separatrix crossings and passages through regions of weaker magnetic field.

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 ...

Forced Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]
Physica Scripta, 1982 By studying a simple model problem, the time evolution of magnetic field islands which are induced by perturbing the boundary surrounding an incompressible plasma with a resonant surface inside is examined. The reconnection and island formation process for sufficiently small boundary perturbations occurs on the tearing mode time scale defined by Furth,
