Formation and motion of a transpolar arc in response to dayside and nightside reconnection [PDF]

, 2005
We trace the formation and subsequent motion of a transpolar arc in response to dayside and nightside reconnection. Both high- and low-latitude dayside reconnection are observed, as well as periods of substorm and nonsubstorm nightside reconnection ...

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.

Electron Backflow Motions in the Outer Electron Diffusion Region During Magnetic Reconnection

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental physical process of rapidly converting magnetic energy into particles. The electron diffusion region (EDR) is the crucial region during magnetic reconnection.

Magnetic energy release in dynamic fan reconnection models [PDF]

, 1999
The problem of dynamic, three-dimensional magnetic reconnection is considered. Analytic “fan current” solutions are derived by superposing plane-wave disturbances on magnetic X-point equilibria.

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.

Analytical solution of steady reconnection outflows in a time-varying three-dimensional reconnection model with generalized spatiotemporal distributions

Frontiers in Physics
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental mechanism for energy conversion in the realms of space physics, astrophysics, and plasma physics. Over the past few decades, obtaining analytical solutions for three-dimensional (3D) magnetic reconnection has ...

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.

Magnetic reconnection in magnetohydrodynamics

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana
We provide examples of periodic solutions (in both 2 and 3 dimension) of the magnetohydrodynamics equations such that the topology of the magnetic lines changes during the evolution. This phenomenon, known as magnetic reconnection, is relevant for physicists, in particular in the study of highly conducting plasmas.
