Nonlinear wave propagation and reconnection at magnetic X-points in the Hall MHD regime [PDF]

, 2012
Context: The highly dynamical, complex nature of the solar atmosphere naturally implies the presence of waves in a topologically varied magnetic environment.

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.

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 ...

Fast magnetic reconnection via jets and current microsheets [PDF]

, 2003
Numerical simulations of highly nonlinear magnetic reconnection provide evidence of ultrathin current microsheets. These small-scale sheets are formed by strong exhaust jets from a primary large-scale current layer.

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.

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.
