Dimensionality of solar magnetic reconnection

open access: yesReviews 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.

Theory of magnetic reconnection in solar and astrophysical plasmas [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions Series A, Mathematical, Physical, and Engineering Sciences, 2012
Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental process in a plasma that facilitates the release of energy stored in the magnetic field by permitting a change in the magnetic topology. In this paper, we present a review of the current state of understanding of magnetic reconnection.

Magnetic reconnection in solar flares

Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, 1991
The magnetic energy stored in the corona is the only plausible source for the energy released during large solar flares. During the last 20 years most theoretical work has concentrated on models which store magnetic energy in the corona in the form of electrical currents, and a major goal of present day research is to understand how these currents are ...

Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Wind

Space Science Reviews, 2011
It is only within the last 5 years that we have learned how to recognize the unambiguous signature of magnetic reconnection in the solar wind in the form of roughly Alfvenic accelerated plasma flows embedded within bifurcated magnetic field reversal regions (current sheets).

Turbulent magnetic reconnection in the solar wind

2023
Turbulent magnetic reconnection was observed in the magnetotail and the magnetopause. In turbulent magnetic reconnection, the diffusion region is filled with a number of filamentary currents primarily carried by the electrons and some flux ropes. These dynamic filamentary currents constitute a kind of three-dimensional network in the diffusion region ...

Magnetic reconnection in solar coronal loops

Advances in Space Research, 1997
Abstract Simulations of the evolution of kink modes in line-tied coronal loops are presented which demonstrate the occurrence of magnetic reconnection in the non-linear stage of the instability. In loops which do not carry a net axial current (and are confined by a potential purely axial field) the reconnection is limited to the initial current ...

Solar Flares and Magnetic Reconnection

2005
Abstract Recent studies by the author and his colleagues on solar flares based on the magnetic reconnection model are reviewed. The studies have been done mainly by using the data sets of space-craft observations and super-computer simulations. The covered topics are an EUV observation of reconnection inflows, MHD simulations of the reconnection ...

Magnetic Reconnection in the Solar Wind: An Update

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
Magnetic reconnection in the solar wind commonly occurs in a quasi‐stationary mode. It produces extensive Petschek‐like exhausts of roughly Alfvenic jetting plasma typically bounded by back‐to‐back rotational discontinuities that bifurcate a reconnecting current sheet. It occurs most frequently at current sheets associated with relatively small (
