Recent Progress in Understanding Solar Magnetic Reconnection [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2015 Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process occurring in a wide range of astrophysical, heliospheric and laboratory plasmas. This process alters magnetic topology and triggers rapid conversion of magnetic energy into thermal heating and nonthermal ...

Solar photospheric magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Earth, Planets and Space, 2014 We investigate photospheric magnetic reconnection due to an encounter of oppositely directed vertical magnetic flux sheets, performing 2.5-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) numerical simulations. We construct the initial flux sheets adopting the thin flux tube approximation.

Magnetic Reconnection Rate in the M6.5 Solar Flare on 2015 June 22
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Magnetic reconnection is regarded as the mechanism for the rapid release of magnetic energy stored in active regions during solar flares, and quantitative measurements of the magnetic reconnection rate are essential for understanding solar flares. In the

Magnetic Reconnection as the Driver of the Solar Wind
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present EUV solar observations showing evidence for omnipresent jetting activity driven by small-scale magnetic reconnection at the base of the solar corona.

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 ...

Differences in the response to CME and CIR drivers of geomagnetic disturbances
Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2023 Utilizing 1-minute resolution data on the geomagnetic indices SYM-H, AE, solar wind parameters (velocity Vsw and density Np), and z-component Bz of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) during solar cycles 23 and 24, we have statistically analyzed the ...

Dimensionality of solar magnetic reconnection
Reviews of Modern Plasma Physics, 2022 AbstractSolar flares are the best examples of astrophysical magnetic reconnection in which the reconnection structure can be studied in detail. The structure is manifested through flare ribbons, intense optical and EUV emissions in footpoints of field lines attached to the coronal reconnection region.
