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 ...

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.

Formation of Power-law Electron Energy Spectra in Three-dimensional Low-β Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2019
While observations have suggested that power-law electron energy spectra are a common outcome of strong energy release during magnetic reconnection, e.g., in solar flares, kinetic simulations have not been able to provide definite evidence of power-laws ...

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.

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.

Characteristics of Energetic Electrons Near Active Magnetotail Reconnection Sites: Tracers of a Complex Magnetic Topology and Evidence of Localized Acceleration

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
We present detailed observations and reconstructed magnetic field topologies from a magnetic reconnection event observed directly by NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission.

Electron-scale dynamics of the diffusion region during symmetric magnetic reconnection in space [PDF]

Science, 2018
Reconnection in Earth's magnetotail Magnetic fields in plasmas can rapidly rearrange themselves in a process known as magnetic reconnection, which releases energy and accelerates particles. Torbert et al.

Switchbacks as signatures of magnetic flux ropes generated by interchange reconnection in the corona [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
The structure of magnetic flux ropes injected into the solar wind during reconnection in the coronal atmosphere is explored with particle-in-cell simulations and compared with in situ measurements of magnetic “switchbacks” from the Parker Solar Probe. We

Observation of the Hall Magnetic Reconnection As Close As 56 Solar Radii from the Sun

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A few thin current layers were detected in the rear boundary of an interplanetary coronal mass ejection (ICME) observed at 56 solar radii from the Sun as the Parker Solar Probe spacecraft approached the perihelion for the first time, and were caused by ...

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.
