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.

Kinematics of relativistic magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 1994 We study the relativistic generalizations of two-dimensional Sweet-Parker and Petschek reconnection models in the context of a relativistic pair plasma. The solutions show that if the outflow velocity from the resistive region approaches the relativistic Alfven speed, the outflow density increase from Lorentz contraction allows a much faster inflow and

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic reconnection in the lower atmosphere is a critical process in determining the chromospheric dynamics, such as Ellerman bombs and UV bursts. Because the heating of the atmosphere significantly depends on the ionization degree and plasma β , which

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 ...

Observations of a Quickly Flapping Interplanetary Magnetic Reconnection Exhaust
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 On the basis of the Petschek reconnection model and the characteristics of reconnection, hundreds of reconnection exhausts were reported in the solar wind.

, 2009 We review the fundamental physics of magnetic reconnection in laboratory and space plasmas, by discussing results from theory, numerical simulations, observations from space satellites, and the recent results from laboratory plasma experiments. After a brief review of the well-known early work, we discuss representative recent experimental and ...

MAVEN Observations of the Interloop Magnetic Reconnections at Mars
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic reconnection between neighboring magnetic field loops, the so-called interloop reconnection, is a common process to drive flares in the solar atmosphere.
