On the location of dayside magnetic reconnection during an interval of duskward oriented IMF [PDF]

, 2007
We present space- and ground-based observations of the signatures of magnetic reconnection during an interval of duskward-oriented interplanetary magnetic field on 25 March 2004.

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection in astrophysical plasmas [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2021
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in laboratory, magnetospheric, solar and astrophysical plasmas, whereby magnetic energy is converted into heat, bulk kinetic energy and fast particle energy.

Black Hole Flares: Ejection of Accreted Magnetic Flux through 3D Plasmoid-mediated Reconnection [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021
Magnetic reconnection can power bright, rapid flares originating from the inner magnetosphere of accreting black holes. We conduct extremely high-resolution (5376 × 2304 × 2304 cells) general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations, capturing ...

Turbulence-driven magnetic reconnection and the magnetic correlation length: Observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale in Earth's magnetosheath

Physics of Plasmas, 2022
Turbulent plasmas generate a multitude of thin current structures that can be sites for magnetic reconnection. The Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission has recently enabled the detailed examination of such turbulent current structures in Earth’s ...

A magnetic reconnection model for hot explosions in the cool atmosphere of the Sun [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. Ultraviolet (UV) bursts and Ellerman bombs (EBs) are transient brightenings observed in the low solar atmospheres of emerging flux regions. Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the main mechanism leading to formation of the two activities ...

Electron-scale physics in magnetic reconnection

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
Magnetic reconnection is one of the important physical mechanisms for the conversion of magnetic energy into plasma energy, which is closely related to many explosive phenomena in space.

Three-dimensional magnetic reconnection through a moving magnetic null [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2011
A computational study of three-dimensional magnetic reconnection between two flux ropes through a moving reconnection site is presented. The configuration is considered in the context of two interacting spheromaks constrained by a perfectly conducting

Magnetic Reconnection and Hot Spot Formation in Black Hole Accretion Disks [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2020
Hot spots, or plasmoids, which form due to magnetic reconnection in current sheets, are conjectured to power frequent X-ray and near-infrared flares from Sgr A*, the black hole in the center of our Galaxy.

Inner plasma structure of the low-latitude reconnection layer [PDF]

, 2012
We report a clear transition through a reconnection layer at the low-latitude magnetopause which shows a complete traversal across all reconnected field lines during northwestward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions.
