Observations of a Quickly Flapping Interplanetary Magnetic Reconnection Exhaust

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
On the basis of the Petschek reconnection model and the characteristics of reconnection, hundreds of reconnection exhausts were reported in the solar wind.

Controls on Solar Wind Entry Identified Through Wind–ACE Heavy‐Ion Diagnostics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Solar wind (SW) entry into the magnetosphere occurs through several mechanisms, but their dependence on the properties of different ion species is unknown. We compare measurements from Wind‐STICS (magnetosphere) with ACE‐SWICS (L1) to test for any preferential entry between He2+ and SW heavy ions.

Asymmetric Magnetic Reconnection In The Solar Atmosphere

open access: yes, 2013
Models of solar flares and coronal mass ejections typically predict the development of an elongated current sheet in the wake behind the rising flux rope. In reality, reconnection in these current sheets will be asymmetric along the inflow, outflow, and out-of-plane directions.

Observations of a Two-sided Loop Jet and Magnetic Reconnection Involving a Medium-scale Filament Eruption

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Although multiscale filament eruptions serve as significant triggers for various energetic release processes in the solar atmosphere, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

Weak Bidirectional Outflows and Flare Current Sheet in a Solar Coronal Jet Driven by the Eruption of a Minifilament

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Different from the classical emerging-flux model for solar jets, recent studies proposed that the great majority of solar coronal jets are triggered by minifilament eruptions and two magnetic reconnection processes should take place during the course ...

Variations of Mid‐Magnetotail Magnetic Pressure During Substorms

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract Magnetic reconnection is commonly observed in the mid‐tail plasma sheet during substorms, the mechanism behind this spatial preference, however, remains unsolved. This study focuses on magnetic pressure evolution within this critical region during substorms.

Imaging Observations of Magnetic Reconnection in a Solar Eruptive Flare [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2017
Abstract Solar flares are among the most energetic events in the solar atmosphere. It is widely accepted that flares are powered by magnetic reconnection in the corona. An eruptive flare is usually accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, both of which are probably driven by the eruption of a magnetic flux rope (MFR).

Global Plasmaspheric Refilling Rates Inferred From Deep‐Learning Electron Density Reconstructions

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.
Abstract As a key process in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling, plasmaspheric refilling is a long‐standing focus in space physics. In this study, we develop a global electron density (GEO‐NE) model based on a CNN‐Transformer architecture, and use the model to investigate plasmaspheric electron density refilling rates. Using global electron density maps

Comparison of Magnetospheric Multiscale ion jet signatures with predicted reconnection site locations at the magnetopause

open access: yesGeophysical 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 ...
