Particle acceleration at a reconnecting magnetic separator

, 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.

Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Observation of Interchange Reconnection on Mars

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Without a global dipole magnetic field, Mars has magnetic anomalies, i.e., crustal fields, in the southern hemisphere and interesting flexible magnetic fields in the magnetotail.

Indeterminacy and instability in Petschek reconnection

, 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.

Achieving fast reconnection in resistive MHD models via turbulent means [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2012
Astrophysical fluids are generally turbulent and this preexisting turbulence must be taken into account for models of magnetic reconnection in astrophysical, solar or heliospheric environments.

Occurrence of Flat‐Top Electron Velocity Distributions in Magnetotail Plasma Jets

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Non‐Maxwellian electron velocity distributions (eVDFs) are ubiquitous in collisionless plasmas. For example, various types of non‐Maxwellian eVDFs exist in magnetic reconnection jets in the Earth's magnetotail. At thermal energies, eVDF can be flat‐topped due to electron trapping associated with magnetic reconnection.

Open Magnetic Field Lines Partition Auroral Oval Segments Into Transpolar Arcs

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Transpolar arcs (TPAs) are auroral structures spanning the polar cap. One type appears in conjugate hemispheres and is thought to be located on closed field lines, but how closed flux enters the open polar cap remains debated. We address this using observation and simulation of conjugate TPAs after an interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) By ...

The influence of Hall currents, plasma viscosity and electron inertia on magnetic reconnection solutions

, 2007
This thesis examines magnetic reconnection in the solar corona. Magnetic reconnection is the only mechanism which allows the magnetic topology of magnetized plasmas to be changed. Many of the dynamic processes in the Sun's atmosphere are believed to be

How the Relative Contribution of DP‐1 and DP‐2 Currents Reshapes the Global Current System During Substorms

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Geomagnetic disturbances in polar regions can be decomposed into two main patterns: the Disturbance Polar (DP) 1 and 2. How their relative contribution reshapes global current system remains unclear. In this study, we classified substorms from 2010 to 2022 into weak and strong DP‐2 events based on the ratio of the eastward to westward auroral ...
