Magnetopause reconnection and interlinked flux tubes [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae, 2013
Magnetic reconnection can be a continuous or a transient process. Global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are important tools to understand the relevant magnetic reconnection mechanisms and the resulting magnetic structures.

Influence of parallel shearing flow on the switch-off effect of magnetic reconnection

AIP Advances, 2019
Parallel shearing flows significantly affect the structure of the magnetic reconnection layer and generate new shock structures such as intermediate shock (IS) and time-dependent IS.

Magnetic reconnection driven by electron dynamics. [PDF]

Nat Commun, 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 acceleration in a coil target-driven low-β magnetic reconnection simulation

Matter and Radiation at Extremes, 2023
Magnetic reconnection driven by a capacitor coil target is an innovative way to investigate low-β magnetic reconnection in the laboratory, where β is the ratio of particle thermal pressure to magnetic pressure.

Effect of interchange instability on magnetic reconnection [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013
We present here the results of a study of interacting magnetic fields that involves a force normal to the reconnection layer. In the presence of such force, the reconnection layer becomes unstable to interchange disturbances.

Collisionless magnetic reconnection in a plasmoid chain [PDF]

, 2012
The kinetic features of plasmoid chain formation and evolution are investigated by two dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. Magnetic reconnection is initiated in multiple X points by the tearing instability.
