Witnessing Magnetic Reconnection in Tangled Superpenumbral Fibrils around a Sunspot
The Astrophysical Journal3D magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process crucial for heating the solar corona and generating the solar wind, but resolving and characterizing it for the Sun remain challenging.

Kinetic Scale Magnetic Reconnection with a Turbulent Forcing: Particle-in-cell Simulations
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Turbulent magnetic reconnection has been observed by spacecraft to occur commonly in terrestrial magnetosphere and the solar wind, providing a new scenario of kinetic scale magnetic reconnection.

On the Detection of Low‐Frequency Planetary Radio Emission With an Orbiting Interferometer
Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract The magnetized planets of the outer Solar System produce kilometric radio emissions at very low frequencies (<1 ${< } 1\,$MHz). They reveal the planetary magnetic dynamics and their interaction with the solar wind. Those radio emissions can also serve as a proxy for interplanetary space weather monitoring.

Magnetic reconnection in the solar atmosphere: from proposal to paradigm [PDF]
Astronomy & Geophysics, 2010 Meeting report On 13 November 2009, the RAS hosted a discussion meeting to commemorate the formal retirement of Prof. Eric Priest. Here Peter Cargill, Clare Parnell, Philippa Browning, Ineke de Moortel and Alan Hood examine how magnetic reconnection has evolved over the past 50 years from an important but controversial proposal, to a general paradigm. ©

First-principles theory of the rate of magnetic reconnection in magnetospheric and solar plasmas
Communications Physics, 2022 Different models exist to characterize magnetic reconnection, a process that converts magnetic energy into plasma thermal and kinetic energy, but a quantitative theoretical predictive model of how rapidly it proceeds has been lacking.

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Ejections of magnetized plasma from the Sun, known as coronal mass ejections, can drive major geomagnetic activity if Earth‐directed, and are therefore monitored by space weather forecasters. The current focus being the forecast of the arrival time of a coronal mass ejection at Earth and the level of geomagnetic impact.

THE ACCELERATION OF IONS IN SOLAR FLARES DURING MAGNETIC RECONNECTION [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2011 The acceleration of solar flare ions during magnetic reconnection is explored via particle-in-cell simulations that self-consistently follow the motions of both protons and $α$ particles. We demonstrate that the dominant ion heating during reconnection with a guide field (a magnetic component perpendicular to the reconnection plane) results from pickup

Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Magnetic reconnection at the Earth's magnetopause is the primary process by which solar wind plasma and energy gains access to the magnetosphere. One indication that magnetic reconnection is occurring is the observation of accelerated plasma as a jet ...

Magnetopause reconnection and interlinked flux tubes [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2013 Magnetic reconnection can be a continuous or a transient process. Global magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) simulations are important tools to understand the relevant magnetic reconnection mechanisms and the resulting magnetic structures.
