Laboratory observation of plasmoid-dominated magnetic reconnection in hybrid collisional-collisionless regime

Communications Physics, 2022
Magnetic reconnection drives the ejection of plasmas during solar flares through changes in the magnetic fields. Here, the authors use a laboratory-based experiment to create magnetic reconnection in a regime in which the plasma on one side of the ...

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.

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 ...

Kinetic Features of Alpha Particles in a Pestchek-like Magnetic Reconnection Event in the Solar Wind Observed by Solar Orbiter

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The acceleration and heating of solar wind particles by magnetic reconnection are important mechanisms in space physics. Although alpha particles ( ^4 He ^2+ ) are the second most abundant population of solar wind ions, their kinetic behavior in solar ...

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.

The investigation of quasi-separatrix layers in solar magnetic fields [PDF]

, 2011
The structure of the magnetic field is often an important factor in many energetic processes in the solar corona. To determine the topology of the magnetic field features such as null points, separatrix surfaces, and separators must be found.

The Magnetic Corona: Magnetic Reconnection in Solar Flares [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
The ability of the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer (TRACE) to image the Sun at high spatial resolution and high cadence over a very broad range of temperatures makes it a unique instrument for observing solar flare plasma. TRACE observations have confirmed the reconnection model for solar flares, at least qualitatively.

Magnetic Reconnection as the Driver of the Solar Wind

, 2022
Abstract Solar and stellar winds are ubiquitous flows of charged particles (i.e., electrons, protons, and heavier ions) permeating the astral spheres1. Through these winds, stars lose angular momentum, slow down their rotation as they age, shape planetary systems, and affect the composition and the physical and chemical evolution of planetary ...

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
