Experimental Observation Of Energetic Ions Accelerated By Three-Dimensional Magnetic Reconnection In A Laboratory Plasma [PDF]
, 2002 Magnetic reconnection is widely believed responsible for heating the solar corona as well as for generating X-rays and energetic particles in solar flares. On astrophysical scales, reconnection in the intergalactic plasma is a prime candidate for a local

A solar filament disconnected by magnetic reconnection [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Aims. We aim to study a high-resolution observation of an asymmetric inflow magnetic reconnection between a filament and its surrounding magnetic loops in active region NOAA 12436 on 2015 October 23. Methods. We analyzed the multiband observations of the magnetic reconnection obtained by the New Vacuum Solar Telescope (NVST) and the Solar Dynamic ...

Does Magnetic Reconnection Occur in the Near Lunar Surface Environment?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 The near lunar surface contains small‐scale magnetic field structures that provide a natural test bed for observing plasmas with a non‐zero Hall electric field, as well as potentially facilitating electron‐only reconnection.

Solar Flares as Cascades of Reconnecting Magnetic Loops [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2003 A model for the solar coronal magnetic field is proposed where multiple directed loops evolve in space and time. Loops injected at small scales are anchored by footpoints of opposite polarity moving randomly on a surface. Nearby footpoints of the same polarity aggregate, and loops can reconnect when they collide.

A numerical model of standard to blowout jets [PDF]
, 2013 We report on three-dimensional (3D) MHD simulations of the formation of jets produced during the emergence and eruption of solar magnetic fields. The interaction between an emerging and an ambient magnetic field in the solar atmosphere leads to (external)

The role of magnetic reconnection in solar activity [PDF]
, 1999 We argue that magnetic reconnection plays the determining role in many of the various manifestations of solar activity. In particular, it is the trigger mechanism for the most energetic of solar events, coronal mass ejections and eruptive flares. We propose that in order to obtain explosive eruptions, magnetic reconnection in the corona must have an ...

Pickup Ion–Mediated Magnetic Reconnection in the Outer Heliosphere
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Pickup ions (PUIs) play a crucial role in the heliosphere, contributing to the mediation of large-scale structures such as the distant solar wind, the heliospheric termination shock, and the heliopause.

Solar-Type Magnetic Reconnection Model for Magnetar Giant Flares [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, 2008 Abstract We present a theoretical model describing magnetar giant flares on the basis of solar flare/coronal mass ejection theory. In our model, preflare activity plays a crucial role in driving evaporating flows and supplying baryonic matter to the magnetosphere.
