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 ...

Aspects of three-dimensional MHD : magnetic reconnection and rotating coronae [PDF]

, 2010
Solutions of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are very important for modelling laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas, for example the solar and stellar coronae, as well as for modelling many of the dynamic processes that occur in these ...

Solar Coronal Heating Fueled by Random Bursts of Fine-scale Magnetic Reconnection in Turbulent Plasma Regions

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Coronal heating is a longstanding issue in solar physics as well as plasma physics in general. In recent years, significant resolution improvements of satellite observations have contributed to a deeper understanding of small-scale physics, e.g ...

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.

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.

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 ...

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.
