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.

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.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Magnetic reconnection is a dynamic process that occurs in solar flares in a tenuous and hot environment. High-cadence, high-spatial resolution spectroscopic observations with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) have provided a unique window ...

Fully Kinetic Simulations of Ion‐Acoustic Waves in Asymmetric Reconnection With Cold Ions
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract In collisionless plasma, ion‐acoustic wave (IAW) is an important candidate for enhancing resistivity and viscosity, yet their presence and role in magnetic reconnection remain poorly understood. Here, we employ 2.5‐D particle‐in‐cell simulations to investigate IAWs in asymmetric magnetopause reconnection involving a cold ion population ...

The Vector Direction of the Interstellar Magnetic Field Outside the Heliosphere
, 2010 We propose that magnetic reconnection at the heliopause only occurs where the interstellar magnetic field points nearly anti-parallel to the heliospheric field.

On the nature of reconnection at a solar coronal null point above a separatrix dome [PDF]
, 2013 Three-dimensional magnetic null points are ubiquitous in the solar corona, and in any generic mixed-polarity magnetic field. We consider magnetic reconnection at an isolated coronal null point, whose fan field lines form a dome structure.

Solar Activity Dependence of the Dayside Lunar Surface Potential in the Terrestrial Magnetotail
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.Abstract On the dayside of the Moon, the surface potential is primarily determined by (a) photoelectron emission by solar radiation and (b) the ambient plasma environment. Both of these drivers have large variability, but the resulting variability of the lunar surface potential has not been fully characterized yet.

Magnetic Reconnection in Astrophysical Environments
, 2014 Magnetic reconnection is a process that changes magnetic field topology in highly conducting fluids. Traditionally, magnetic reconnection was associated mostly with solar flares.

Dynamics of the Transition corona [PDF]
, 2014 Magnetic reconnection between open and closed magnetic field in the corona is believed to play a crucial role in the corona/heliosphere coupling. At large scale, the exchange of open/closed connectivity is expected to occur in pseudo-streamer structures.
