Asymmetric distribution of reconnection jet fronts in the Jovian nightside magnetosphere [PDF]

, 2013
Magnetic reconnection plays important roles in mass transport and energy conversion in planetary magnetospheres. It is considered that transient reconnection causes localized auroral arcs or spots in the Jovian magnetosphere, by analogy to the case in ...

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.

Dayside flow bursts and high-latitude reconnection when the IMF is strongly northward [PDF]

, 2006
The characteristics of dayside ionospheric convection are studied using Northern Hemispheric SuperDARN data and DMSP particle and flow observations when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was strongly northward during 13:00–15:00 UT on 2 March 2002.

Observations of Magnetic Flux Ropes Opened or Disconnected From the Sun by Magnetic Reconnection in Interplanetary Space

Frontiers in Physics, 2021
During solar eruptions, many closed magnetic flux ropes are ejected into interplanetary space, which contribute to the heliospheric magnetic field and have important space weather effect because of their coherent magnetic field.
