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.

Theory and Applications of Non-Relativistic and Relativistic Turbulent Reconnection

, 2015
Realistic astrophysical environments are turbulent due to the extremely high Reynolds numbers. Therefore, the theories of reconnection intended for describing astrophysical reconnection should not ignore the effects of turbulence on magnetic reconnection.

Role of Z-pinches in magnetic reconnection in space plasmas

, 2014
A widely accepted scenario of magnetic reconnection in collisionless space plasmas is the breakage of magnetic field lines in X-points. In laboratory, reconnection is commonly studied in pinches, current channels embedded into twisted magnetic fields. No

Dynamics of the Transition corona [PDF]

, 2014
Magnetic reconnection between open and closed magnetic field in the corona is believed to play a crucial role in the corona/heliosphere coupling. At large scale, the exchange of open/closed connectivity is expected to occur in pseudo-streamer structures.

The Formation of a U-shaped Filament Due to the Successive Magnetic Reconnection between a Filament and Its Nearby Chromospheric Fibrils

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Although magnetic reconnection plays a key role in the formation of a solar filament, the detailed formation process is still ambiguous. Combining the observational data from the New Vacuum Solar Telescope and the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we analyzed ...
