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.

Interplay between magnetic reconnection and turbulence [PDF]

, 2023
Shay, Michael A.Reconnection and turbulence frequently occur in plasmas, including laboratory, astrophysical and space plasmas. Over the past few decades, the interrelationship between turbulence and magnetic reconnection has been the focus of increasing

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 ...

Finding reconnection lines and flux rope axes via local coordinates in global ion-kinetic magnetospheric simulations [PDF]

Annales Geophysicae
Magnetic reconnection is a crucially important process for energy conversion in plasma physics, with the substorm cycle of Earth's magnetosphere and solar flares being prime examples.

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.

Flare energy release by flux pile-up magnetic reconnection in a turbulent current sheet [PDF]

, 2000
The power output of flux pile-up magnetic reconnection is known to be determined by the total hydromagnetic pressure outside the current sheet. The maximum energy-release rate is reached for optimized solutions that balance the maximum dynamic and ...

The Magnetic Reconnection Code: Center for Magnetic Reconnection Studies [PDF]

, 2007
Understanding magnetic reconnection is one of the principal challenges in plasma physics. Reconnection is a process by which magnetic fields reconfigure themselves, releasing energy that can be converted to particle energies and bulk flows. Thanks to the availability of sophisticated diagnostics in fusion and laboratory experiments, in situ probing of ...

Particle acceleration at a reconnecting magnetic separator [PDF]

, 2014
While the exact acceleration mechanism of energetic particles during solar flares is (as yet) unknown, magnetic reconnection plays a key role both in the release of stored magnetic energy of the solar corona and the magnetic restructuring during a flare.

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 ...

Indeterminacy and instability in Petschek reconnection [PDF]

, 2013
We explain two puzzling aspects of Petschek's model for fast reconnection. One is its failure to occur in plasma simulations with uniform resistivity. The other is its inability to provide anything more than an upper limit for the reconnection rate.
