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 ...

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.

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 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 ...

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.

Magnetic Reconnection in Strongly Magnetized Regions of the Low Solar Chromosphere [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 Abstract Magnetic reconnection in strongly magnetized regions around the temperature minimum region of the low solar atmosphere is studied by employing MHD-based simulations of a partially ionized plasma within a reactive 2.5D multi-fluid model.

Formation of a Solar Filament by Magnetic Reconnection and Coronal Condensation [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2021 Abstract In solar filament formation mechanisms, magnetic reconnection between two sets of sheared arcades forms helical structures of the filament with numerous magnetic dips, and cooling and condensation of plasma trapped inside the helical structures supply mass to the filament.

Fast plasmoid-mediated reconnection in a solar flare
Nature Communications, 2022 Solar flares provide wide range of observational details about fundamental processes involved. Here, the authors show evidence for magnetic reconnection in a strong confined solar flare displaying all four reconnection flows with plasmoids in the current
